Tiny spring beauties.Winter go away! That's enough!


We have real merry-go-round: winter! spring! winter! SPRING?? let's assume SPRING - even if the snow appears sometimes. Snow that we didn't have in the winter AT ALL.

Today I focus on tiny plants in my garden, but very charming. On the picture above: chionodoxa luciliae - bulb plant, once planted stays in the soil and blossoms beautifully every spring.

Primula dentata - graceful shape and round flower, that is to come on the picture.

Pulsatilla - cotton flowers are about to be open. Even before opening they look little unreal.



Pushkinia libanotica - not very popular, but so cheering in early spring garden. Once you plant the bulbs, they stay there and every year there is more flowers appearing.




Scilla sibirica - on the picture with pulmonaria - also blue, also from bulb and also dependable bloomer in early spring.

  3. So cheery! Much better than the snow! Today I will volunteer at our annual Gardenscape, as well as tomorrow, so I am looking forward to some green even if it inside!

  6. Great photos! I'm a fan of Pushikinia, although I don't have any in my garden I planted some at the cemetary where they've spread into a beautiful carpet.

  7. Spring is so elusive this year - but your little darlings are beautiful - No buds in my garden yet, and it makes me sad.

  8. Aha, I grow puschkinia too! I wonder why they aren't more popular? I love the clear blue stripes on the white flowers, or is it like a zebra; white stripes on a blue flower? Whatever the case, I won't be seeing mine for a month or more yet. Like you, I'm really tired of winter, but it's hanging around like odd socks or old fish.

    Have a sunny Spring weekend, Ewa!

  13. Ewa, you've got plenty of lovely blooms in your garden already! How I wish I had some pulsatillas - I tried to sow some but the seds didn't germinate. But, I do have chionodoxa - a white variety, and they're just about to open.. ./Katarina

  16. I've never met pushikinia! They are beautiful. Here too Spring is most elusive. We had hail and thunder yesterday. We never get thunder here. Today appears sunny and dry--is it a trick?
