Spring is just around the corner
Spring is almost here, this year the winter was unusually cold with many frosty nights and cloudy days, this strange occurrence gave me a little glimpse of what gardeners in colder climates experience every year: the plants halted their growth. Last yeat I had water lilies and hibiscus blooming in winter as I showed in previous entries, but this year there was nothing blooming, the cold made everything go dormant, now days are getting warmer and plants are slowly "waking up".

Hola MDN, tu jardín empieza a despertar lentamente. Por lo que dices el invierno a sido inusual, el cambio climático por desgracia es una realidad.
ResponderEliminarPreciosas flores tienes en tu jardín felicidades.
Cordiales saludos
Hola! así es, este invierno ha sido atípico, más frio que lo habitual y con heladas, pero esto es bueno para las rosas (mi planta favorita) ya que un buen descanso invernal las favorece grandemente, generalmente los inviernos aquí son tan cálidos que mis rosas continúan brotando y floreciendo y esto es malo para ellas ya privadas de descanso invernal se estresan y son susceptibles a enfermedades. Saludos y buen fin de semana!
EliminarHow I love Ranunculus, Manolo but they grow badly in my garden. Yesterday I've been to Finland and bought packs of Ranunculus, lets see how they will be next spring! Your camellias and peach flowers are pretty too.
ResponderEliminarNadezda, I had never planted ranunculus before, I find them very beautiful I hope you have success with your finish ranunculus when spring comes back to Europe. Have a great sunday!
EliminarIt's lovely to see your Camellias again. The Ranunculus look perfect too.
ResponderEliminarHello Kris, it's not a great year for Camellias, the many hail storms in summer and autumn ruined most of their buds =( Ranunculus are very nice, I think I'll plant them every year from now on! Have a nice Sunday!
EliminarMarcelo, your garden is amazing. Also the Ranunculus are the biggest I have ever seen. :)
ResponderEliminarÀ propos Hibiscus. Speaking with somebody about Hibiscus syriacus, I happened to read (on Wikipedia) that there are about 200 cultivars and about a half of these grow only in Korea - where it has been grown for centuries. Fascinating!
Happy Spring! :)
Sara, I have hibiscus syriacus, one big tree and a small one in a pot which I plan to plant in the ground soon, they are so beautiful and bees love them. This winter was so unusually cold that my hibiscus sinensis had a hard time, they wont die but frost took a toll on them and even under a roof they got their leaves damaged. I wish you a lovely autumn!
EliminarHi Marcelo, isn't it wonderful to be experiencing Spring? I am looking in my garden often to see what has changed. I have Ranunculus out too. I think they are a wonderful plant, so easy to grow, and best of all, they self-seed!
ResponderEliminarJane, the weather is nice, warm but not hot yet I hope this lasts! I haven't had ranunculus before so I'll see how they fare. Have a great sunday.
EliminarHello MDN
ResponderEliminarThis year really seems to be a crazy year for nature all over the globe, I think! Is winter from June to August in Argentina? This year we had no spring at all in Germany, winter went already over to summer. I like to see your Camellias, reminds of Japan. And in Japan they have since May an extremly hot, rainy and humid summer. (My husband is still there)
indeed Sigrid, this winter was strangely cold (I liked it) but now things are getting warmer as usually do in late august/september and the plants are coming back to normality. I hope to finally meet success with my roses this year!
EliminarIt looks like the spring looks here, with Camellias, Clivia, and Ranunculus. Your Camellias are particularly beautiful. I hope your spring is very long and mild, and your summer short--and mild.
