They can range from small dwarf selections to medium-sized trees, depending on the variety and growing conditions, says Andrae Protzman, a merchandiser for Spring Hill Nursery and Michigan Bulb Co. Known for their long-lasting summer flowers that come in shades of white, red, pink, and lavender, they’re nothing short of stunning. “Exfoliating bark gives added interest, particularly in winter, when the plants foliage has dropped,” he explains....

Preparation We’ve all made disappointing scrambled eggs—but if we’re lucky, we’ve tasted exquisite ones, too. Here’s the thing: If perfect scrambled eggs are made from the exact same ingredients as bad scrambled eggs, then how can we do this essential dish justice? As always, the devil is in the details. It’s first important to define sub-par scrambled eggs. They might be rubbery and chewy or dry and crumbly—they might also have the occasional crunch of eggshell, be tinged with brown or gray, or taste more like the pan than an egg....

Baked Eggs (Shirred Eggs) Baked Eggs can be as simple as cracking eggs into a muffin tin, then popping it in the oven. All good – but, well, kinda humdrum. 🤷🏻‍♀️ These shirred eggs though? They’re cooked on a bed of garlicky mushrooms and spinach. We drizzle the eggs with just a touch of cream and give it all a shower of parmesan before popping in the oven.
