ANGELIQUE: One of the prettiest tulips is also easy to grow
Angelique is soon to arrive in my garden, but only briefly. And as in years past, I’ll miss her when she leaves and will look forward to her return next spring. She has proven to be one of the prettiest tulips. To describe her petals merely as rose-pink does her injustice. Angelique changes during her stay here each spring. Her blossoms start out neatly folded, upright and very tulip-like, but over the course of days spread wider and wider. As she opens, she shows off her many petals, making her look like a mix of a peony and a rose. Inside each blossom, the bases of the petals have a yellow glow. Put your nose to a blossom and you can even detect a rose-like aroma. That rose-pink color is not a uniform shade LEE REICH brushed over all the petals. Instead, the petals have a porcelain white background that’s dabbed with rose-pink brush strokes of varying intensity. Both the color and the shape of the blossoms hold up well in a vase, the petals on the cut flowers becoming translucent over time. MORE REASONS TO GROW ANGELIQUE I’ll give you two more reasons to plant Angelique. First, each bulb, given good conditions, will send up multiple flower stalks. Second, Angelique is a tulip that often perennializes. Sure, all tulips are perennial in theory, but the blossoms of most tulips peter out over time. A good site helps tulips — even those that tend to perennialize — last longer. Such a site is bathed in at least five hours of sun daily while tulips are up out of the ground in spring. After that, some shade is beneficial to keep the ground in which the bulbs are slumbering from getting too warm. Angelique’s bed beneath my grape arbor should prove a perfect home for her. Good nutrition and a well-drained soil encourage the lusty growth that feeds the following year’s blooms. A mulch such as compost could do that feeding at the same time as it insulates the soil to help keep it from getting too warm.
POST-BLOOM CARE After blossoming, Angelique and other tulips make seeds. Rather than letting them do this, I snap off developing seed heads so the plants instead channel their energy to the developing bulbs. Any tulip bulb multiplies and, with time, all those new bulbs begin to crowd each other. How long before the bulbs become overcrowded depends on the kind of bulb and the growing conditions, but diminished flowering is the result. When that begins to happen, it’s time to dig them up, separate them, and replant them. It does not seem possible to have too much of Angelique, but if that happens, she also would make a great gift. Angelique is not a “new kid on the block,” just a new tulip in my garden. She’s been around since 1959, found as a chance mutation in a stock of Granda, another fine, rose-colored, double-flowered, late tulip. Granda was evidently not as fine as Angelique because it is no longer around. Consider inviting Angelique to your garden this fall to enjoy next spring and for many springs thereafter. http://www.leereich.com/blog http://leereich.com

ASK A DESIGNER:
For spring, window treatments with flair By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press Even the simplest window treatments have an important role to play in the look of a room. “They really soften and furnish a space much more than most people imagine,” says interior designer Betsy Burnham of Los Angeles. Yet she often has to reassure people that drapes, curtains or other window treatments don’t have to be fussy. “It can be tailored, simple panels done in great fabrics and the simplest of hardware,” she says. With spring finally arriving, we’ve asked Burnham and two other interior designers — Florida-based Maggie Cruz and New York-based Deborah Martin — for advice on what’s trending in window design. How can homeowners preserve their privacy while letting in the sunlight and enjoying their view all spring and summer? SIMPLE CAN BE POWERFUL “We’re seeing a trend more toward minimalizing what’s happening around the window,” says Cruz. Her clients are increasingly seeking functional items like simple shades, perhaps softened with a See Windows p. 2D
These undated photos provided by Betsy Burnham show rooms designed by Burnham. Los Angeles-based interior designer Burnham often chooses draperies made from “tailored, simple panels done in great fabrics and the simplest of hardware” for her clients, as shown in this living room above. Below left, to create a stylish but tailored look in this bedroom, Burnham used a shade in the same crisp white color as the walls. Below right, the clean, simple lines of Roman shades are popular, and can be designed in a wide range of fabrics and colors, as shown in this room. (AP photos)
Art or British artist Marc Camille decor? Chaimowicz’s playful work By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press NEW YORK — The furniture, drapes, wall coverings, ceramics, textiles and other works by Londonbased artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz are as cross-disciplinary as they are distinct. They reflect and draw inspiration from the home, but are closer to sculpture or performance art than home goods. Tending toward muted pastel pinks, lavenders and greens, Chaimowicz’ pieces are better known in Europe than in the United States. Until now, that is. “Marc Camille Chaimowicz: Your Place or Mine,” billed as the first exhibit in the U.S. devoted solely to him, opened at The Jewish Museum in New York in March and remains on view through Aug. 5. “We gave the show a playful and ambiguous title to reflect the playfulness and ambiguous nature of the work, and as a nod to the fact that this museum itself was once a home,” says associate curator Kelly Taxter, who organized the exhibit at the Fifth Avenue museum, in a mansion built in 1908. Chaimowicz doesn’t delineate between fine arts, crafts and design, she says. “His work is very abstract and, at the same time, it’s utterly approachable. Everyone recognizes a chair and understands wallpaper. So
This March photo shows an installation view of the exhibition “Marc Camille Chaimowicz: Your Place or Mine,” at the Jewish Museum in New York. The exhibit runs through Aug. 5. (AP photo) there’s an immediate understanding, and there are also multiple layers of poetry behind it.” The show includes works made between 1978 and 2018, including some never-before-exhibited pieces and three new commissions. Born in post-war Paris to a Polish Jewish father and a French Catholic mother, Chaimowicz was 8 when his family moved to Britain. He has lived and created in three London apartments over the past 40 years, and these apartments served as both subjects and sources of his work, says Taxter.
The show is arranged thematically into five main sections: The Entrance, The Library, Here and There, The Salon and The Public Garden. In The Entrance, a row of coat hooks display jackets and trousers decorated with Chaimowicz’ silkscreened patterns, which resemble wallpaper patterns. It’s a hint of the work throughout the exhibit that emphasizes decoration. And it’s of course an image of something one might see in a home. The Library features an entire See Exhibit p. 2D

Exh ibit from 1D gallery devoted to decorative “artist’s books” made by Chaimowicz. The books somehow straddle the artistic, poetic and political realms. This section also features two lampshades designed for this exhibit. Starting in 1975, Chamowicz shifted his focus primarily toward home interiors as an inspiration and starting point for his pieces. “His apartment itself was a work of art,” says Taxter. The small gallery called Here and There features a combination of self-portraiture and staged images showing partial views of in which interiors, Chaimowicz is always looking elsewhere. Enormous panels covered in patterns made using a roller brush — “much like families in Poland might have painted an apartment,” says Taxter — are propped up as sort of movable wall coverings, to be rearranged and overlapped on a whim. “The beauty of these large panels is that he could arrange them differ-

ently in his apartment without having to repaint the walls each time,” she says. “They allow for a great deal of flexibility.” Because his work is so site-specific, the exhibit draws on the building’s ornate interior and views onto Central Park. One piece, “A New Curtain for KT” (2018), features sheer woven and embroidered curtain fabric in pale greens and pinks near a soaring gallery window overlooking the park.
“End Game,” also from this year, has a pair of panels of mirrored glass, each about the size of a door, inset with diamond shapes and featuring chrome knobs where one might place door knobs. The work is set against a wall at the end of the exhibit and is not meant to be opened, but the panels are so inviting — and so resemble real doors — that some visitors have mistakenly tried to go through them, Taxter says.

lightweight drapery. “The hardware,” she says, “is just enough to maybe play with the color of the metal.” Burnham loves that kind of simplicity: “I like to use the thinnest rod I can that will support the weight of the curtain,” she says. Ideally, that’s just 1inch thick. “For support brackets, I like them always to be horizontal so you can’t see them. They’re behind the rod. It’s really minimal, and yet it’s drapery.” Martin says her clients are also embracing soft organic fabrics and natural fibers like woven woods and raffia shades, perhaps looking for “more of a high-touch, tactile element for our homes as we try to disengage from high tech.” MAXIMALISM STILL HAS FANS Martin is also working with clients who are bringing more color and glamour into their furnishings and window design: “Color, color, color,” she says, “is the No. 1 trend.” Taking their cue from the fashion industry, many of her clients in New York are embracing bold, graphic patterns, and in some cases “shimmery, glittery and even sequined fabrics.” She is also seeing soft velvets, popular for several years as sofa upholstery, now being used for stationary drapery panels that serve as columns of color to frame a window. Burnham is also seeing some of this embrace of bold patterns, though the look is less overtly glam-
orous. “I think that we’re done with the urban farmhouse,” she says. “Maximalism is coming back to a certain degree. In L.A., it’s not about glitz and glam, but it’s about pattern. And it can be a pattern that’s reminiscent of your grandmother’s cottage in the country or it can be a pattern that’s more geometric and tailored.” TECHNOLOGY HAS ITS PLACE All three designers see the growing popularity of remote-controlled motorized shades, which have become less expensive and less complicated to install. Cruz says her clients love them “just for the ease and functionality.” Martin sees the same trend in Manhattan: “If you live in a high-rise in the city,” she says, “and you have walls of windows, who is going to take the time to raise and lower all those shades” every morning and evening? NEW TWISTS ON CLASSICS Cruz has been using a lot of wooden plantation shutters for clients, but they are “updated and modern,” she says. Because these shutters have wide louvers, they let in lots of light and don’t obscure the view when open. Many are designed with a hidden tilt bar, she says, so the horizontal line of the shutters isn’t cut so obviously by a vertical bar of wood. Wooden shutters, Cruz says, “add to the millwork of the house.” Martin, who uses this type of wooden shutter in some rooms in her own
home, agrees: “They’re architectural and functional,” she says, “and they just add so much to a room, almost like wood moldings.” Another new twist on traditional style: In her dining room, Burnham has leopard-print draperies in a casual cotton fabric. “They’re not heavy or fancy,” she says, “and they’re funky in a way that it’s not taking itself too seriously.” Whether you’re most comfortable with minimalist Roman shades or leopard-print draperies, Burnham does suggest taking time in choosing new window designs for your home. “This is a much more complicated category of design” than selecting a side table or rug, she says. “There are a lot of things to consider, and people do make mistakes” if they design their windows without a lot of thought. “They hang their rods too low or too high, so that you walk into the room and you know something is a just little bit off.” EDITOR’S NOTE: Melissa Rayworth writes about lifestyles topics for The Associated Press.
