FROM BUD TO FLOWER

It’s lilac time again ! Do you remember I showed you my lilac tree in bud 2 weeks ago ?

IT LOOKED LIKE THIS (syringa vulgaris Beauty of Moscow)

EXACTLY 2 WEEKS LATER IT LOOKS LIKE THIS

THIS IS A CLOSE UP, SOFT LILAC BUDS AND PURE WHITE FLOWERS

PRETTY AS A PICTURE ( I think)

As all the buds are blooming at the same time I put lots of them in vases for myself and the rest I gave to family and friends. Each year I remove all the flowers and each year I get lots of flowers back.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ALL AND KEEP SAFE.

A PEEK IN MY GARDEN

As we get warmth and rain everything is growing like mad and flowers are opening every day.

VIBURNUM OPULUS

FUCHSIA, it is nameless as the shops just sell them under the name “fuchsia”, it is frustrating as I don’t know if it likes shade or sun or if it is winterhardy or not.

SYRINGA VULGARIS BEAUTY OF MOSCOW, the flowers are snowwhite but the buds are a smokey lilac

IRIS PSEUDACORUS or yellow pond iris in the back, the leafs are like swords, they clean the water in the pond, in the front is CALTHA PALUSTRIS, also a good water cleaner, the fishing wire is for keeping the herons from eating our fish.

FIG, my fig tree is comming to life and the figs are growing now, the figs have overwintered as tiny peas so as soon as the weather gets warmer the tiny figs start to grow.
