A couple weeks ago,New YorkMagazine photographer Bobby Doherty strolled by my desk to chat about how he’s really into vases and flowers where you can see the bulbs, as pictured above. With these vases, the water goes in the sphere on the bottom and the bulb sits right on top, soaking it in and growing into a flower. You can buy a single bulb, watch the whole stem grow into a flower, and enjoy the circle of life asserting itself right before your very eyes. Best to buy these in the spring when the flower part will actually start to bloom.
