My new plant is blooming! I bought Astilbe in May and planted it without being sure it would flower this summer. But it worked! I plan to buy more Astilbes next year because there are only a few sunny places in my garden, and Astilbe grows well in the shadow under my pine trees.
I left my little garden with blooming tulips and daffodils and travelled abroad.
After a few touches of frost, my flowers survived. Daffodils and a few tulips bloomed. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of grass in the garden, all because I’ve been ill for a week and can’t weed. I’m feeling better today and hope to get this sorted out within a week.
On the first spring day (yesterday), my crocuses gave me a lot of joy. They are all in bloom: purple, violet, white, and yellow. I am slightly afraid of my tulips and daffodils because they are growing fast. Unfortunately, the feather forecast for April is tough with the minus temperatures at night. I hope forecasters are mistaken. Anyway, we’ll see.
March is the first spring month, even if the first spring flowers are under the snow and the temperature is -1 at night. The first crocuses appeared in my small town garden in February. But I could take some photos only when the sun shined from behind the clouds. These crocuses are two years old. I decided not to dig them last year. Thus, they bloomed the first.
These tiny individual crocuses are only one year old; I planted them last year. I hope there will be more of them the following year. They are a little darker than the previous ones.
Also, my tulips and daffodils are crazy trying to prove that there is the highest time to bloom for them. I tried not to plant one flower on another or too close, but it never succeeded, and my tulips are growing on the crocuses.
This year I have gorgeous daffodils in my little garden. Double-flowered daffodils are spectacular. The miniature narcissus’ are still blooming too. Now I am waiting for my tulips to bloom.
The weather is changeable in Warsaw. There are +2 – +3 Celsius degrees at night. During the day, the sun shines, and the temperature rises to 12+. One day it even rained, so my mini daffodils bloomed. The others are waiting for warmer days. The tulips are in no hurry either. Well – I will wait too.
