Daffodil Ice King (Narcissus ’Ice King’) just started to bloom and it is a very interesting one. It is a new purchase I made few weeks ago. Actually never seen this variety before. Daffodils are many and it seems that I just keep on buying more. This one goes to the summer cottage and hopefully…

Crocuses (Crocus vernus) are at their best. Only have few colors in the garden. I would love to have more of them but the flowering season is very short and usually I manage to miss it and fail see them blooming. Therefore I prefer daffodils. They bloom longer and are more tolerant to the climate.

We had few warm nights and it did wonders. Daffodils are starting to bloom and it is such a delight to walk outside. Bought this daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) from Ikea more than a month ago but finally it decided to open its flowers. Like the color it has. Such a bright colored variety.

There are so many different color options for Violets (Viola) but I think that I now have the ones selected for this summer. I have been going to different shops and finding out the options for this season. Will have most of them in pots in the summer cottage, now that the isolation of the…

Bought one yellow for the Easter to start the season early. Still few more months to go before the lilies (Lilium) start to bloom up here in the north. When it has bloomed I will take it to the summer cottage and replant it. Not quite sure though that this variety can take the winter…

Happy Easter to you all! I know that we have seen better times but we cannot always choose what life throws at us. At last up here in the north we are able to take long walks and enjoy the spring. During the walk I was able to find Pennyworts (Anemone hepatica) which were blooming…

I have been trying to find a perfect Begonia (Begonia) for several days now. Today I accidentally noticed this pink one. Last year I had a striking red and yellow colored which made me want to have one this year as well. Begonia tolerates cold, heat and wind well which makes it perfect for my…

Yet another daffodil (Narcissus ‘Mount Hood’) started to bloom. This variety is so similar to Snowboard that I have difficulties to tell them apart and most probably when I plant them to the summer cottage I do not know which one is which. It does not really matter to me anyway. The main thing is…

They have promised few days of warm weather just before the Eastern. We should go above 10 degrees Celsius which is warm up here in the north for this time of the year. Pansies (viola) arrived and bought one for my balcony. I would love to have more but during the summer it simply gets…

I have to admit that this is the first Persian Buttercup (Ranunculus asiaticus) that I have ever had. Do not know why but for some reason I have never tried to grow one. It is always nice to have something new and see how it grows. The shape of the bloom is gorgeous and there…
