NOW THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME SMILE

Normally we have snow and ice and freezing temperatures in February, but what is normal these day hey ?  I love love love this weather but it scares me too, it is not just one day it is 2 weeks already and going on….

I took some pictures yesterday.

CROCUS VERNUS FLOWER RECORD

IMG_4228 (2)

This crocus is so easy to grow, you just plant them, that is all and they’ll spread themselves all over the garden. Once every 5 years or so you dig them up after flowering and you make new clumps, that is it.

I am thinking of growing the saffron crocus, does any of you have experience with this crocus ? If so I’d love to hear from you.

I hope all is well with you all, have a great SUNday followed by a great week !

Thanks for visiting.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Although we can still expect snow and frost up till mid May. But at the moment it is warm and sunny and it is good to be able to do some much needed garden work.

I took some pictures for you all to see what is happening at the moment.

ME(A)ET EATING PLANT

Plants that eat insects and small animals are quite fascinating but not for the  poor animals that drown in their juices…. But in Summer we visited some tropical greenhouses and they had some beautiful carnivorous plants.

THIS IS A SARRACENIA SPECIES, ALSO CALLED PITCHER PLANT

I think these deadly flowers look really pretty but they hide several dead bodies inside, nature can be very cruel.

Have a great week and thanks for visiting my blog.

WITH RAINDROPS

Plants and flowers are so much prettier with raindrops I think. We had a bit of rain last night and this morning I saw how pretty it was so I took a few pictures for you.

AUTUMN, BUT STILL IN BLOOM

It is Autumn, the leafs are getting other colors, others already fell down but it still feels like Summer. The weather is still very warm, sunny and very dry over here, very unusual for October but the days are becomming shorter every day. So I took my camera and made a few pictures of all the colors in my garden at the moment.
