In my part of the country, over the Easter weekend, the sun was shining as the temperature rose, after a cold winter it was very welcomed. As the sun was shining, it was a good day for a walk and the writer went for a walk in a corporate garden. A corporate garden has many people looking after the lawns and generally the grounds are immaculate. At this time of the year, tulip bulbs poke their leaves above the ground. In another month or two depending on where you live the tulips will be adding splendid colour to the world Many people plant tulips and other bulbs in the fall, and if all goes correctly, the tulips display thier colours in the spring. After the tulips have display their colours it is time to go to the garden centres for summer and fall plants.

Linking to dividend producing stocks, the planting of a tulip bulb in the fall leads to a flowers in the spring time. If a gardener cuts the leaves when the flower display is over, the bulb will remain in the ground and continue to bloom for another couple of years or it will provide dividends. Plants that come back every year or known as perennials, and plants that start from bulbs are dividend buyers delights. Once you have a solid base of perennials, add the annuals (plants that need to buy every year) to complement and enhance the garden.Gardening is better than trying to start from scratch every year.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time   – to raising questions.
