LIPHOOK in Bloom has been provided with 2,000 Ruby Giant crocus bulbs by Haslemere Rotary Club.

The rotary club’s Purple4Polio campaign encourages organisations to plant purple crocus.

The Ruby Giants are described as having a rich purple flower with yellow anthers and fine narrow leaves. They were planted in the Millennium bed, near Sainsbury’s, and Shipley Court in Midhurst Road, alongside purple and white tulips and purple pansies.
