CLEMATIS BUD

This morning I took a picture of part of my lilac (syringa vulgaris “beauty of Moscow) tree, look at all the buds !! I look forward to be able to smell the lilacs !
Take care and stay safe !

Probably a gift of a wild bird, but this flower found a good spot in my garden to germinate and grow. If I find a seedling in my garden that I don’t recognise I let it grow untill I do know what it is. And this way I have had some really nice surprises in the past.
This pretty plant is rapeseed (brassica rapa), a seed that is often used to plant on big fields where they make oil from the seeds, it is a healty oil to use in the kitchen. Otherwise it is also used as birdfood, the seeds is what they are after.
We have really nice and sunny weather and I have been working in the garden for a while now. I feel so blessed to be able to go out in the garden unlike lots of people who have to stay in a tiny flat or even a room. I so hope this coronavirus will soon be gone forever !!
Take care and stay safe !

FUCHSIA

PINK AND WHITE PELARGONIUM
As the garden is waking up and the crocusses, snowdrops and narcisses have gone, other plants are taking over. Three of my favorite Spring plants are starting to bloom.

THIS WHITE FLOWERING PIERIS IS ABOUT TO OPEN IT’S BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FLOWERS

EUPHORBIA CHARIACIAS IS ABOUT TO OPEN IT’S YELLOW BELL SHAPED FLOWERS

SKIMMIA JAPONICA KEW GREEN IS ALSO ABOUT TO OPEN IT’S FLOWERS
All tree of these plants bloom for a long time, but the skimmia already gets these flowerbuds in Autumn so I think this is a good small bush for small gardens, all it needs is a bit of accid soil. There are male and female skimmia’s, the males get the flowers, the females get beautiful berries in Autumn, usually red but sometimes bright yellow.
All 3 of these plants attracts bees !
If you have any questions about plants I’ll be happy to answer them.
Have a great week all !

THE UNIVERSE IS MADE UP OF PROTONS, NEUTRONS, ELECTRONS AND
MORONS.
HAVE A GREAT DAY !!

We are having a soft wet Winter this time, we had a few mild frosty nights but that’s all so far, for tomorrow a severe storm is comming our way with lots of rain and very strong winds.
There are lots of plants budding as they think it’s Spring.





Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting !
