Siberian Squills (Scilla siberica) are one of my favorite spring flowers.
The color they have is simply striking and they are so easy to grow. They usually spread and form a beautiful blooming blanket.
Still waiting the warmer weather up here in the north. Today the weather has been cool and we even got some snow flakes from the sky.
Happy Mother’s Day day to all moms! It is celebrated up here on the second Sunday of May each year.
It is a rainy day up here in the north. We have had cool weather for the past two weeks but tomorrow it should start warming up.
I am spending the week in the summer cottage and starting the planting season. Plenty of things to do and not much to see yet in the garden.
The winter seems to have been a good one for the plants and nearly all of them have survived. We went down to -30 degrees Celsius but that is not too much.
The Siberian Squills (Scilla Siberica) are at their best at the moment and are usually one of the first ones to start the blooming season. I just love the blue color they have in the blooms. It is so bright and strong.
Wild blueberries started to bloom today and the summer cottage is now surrounded by butterflies, honeybees and bumblebees all having a feast.
It has been long time since I have seen this many of them and to me it appears that the populations have recovered.
Also the Siberian Squills (Scilla Siberica’) are blooming. Simply adore the blue color they have.
Siberian squills are blooming beautifully.
They are one of those flowers where you do not need to do anything else than watch and enjoy. Once established they just spread and bloom each spring.
On a warm day they are full of bees and butterflies feasting.
