The Garden in May

 

 

The weather has been strange: sunny, then cold, then strong winds, then torrential rains. The plants in the garden responded immediately to the sun, and vibrant flowers began to appear in various places. The primroses were the first to bloom. These easy-to-grow flowers always bloom first.

I'm pleased with the condition of the rhododendrons. My mature rhododendron bushes survived the winter well. I'm showing you the "Daughter of the North" variety, bred in Finland. Several young bushes overwintered poorly due to the constant temperature fluctuations between frosts and thaws.

 

 

 

 

A cascade of white flowers has formed in the front garden. The cherry tree is in full bloom, and beneath it the Spiraea cinerea Grefsheim is blooming with long white clusters. The apple tree, which produces small, sweet red apples, is also in full bloom.

 

 

The wood anemones turned out to be remarkably resilient. I didn't expect them to bloom in the spring. They have lovely, delicate blue flowers, and I hope I can keep them in the garden for the future.

 

 

 The Juniperus horizontalis 'Glauca' has begun to grow vigorously and is getting large and beautiful year after year. Three years ago, it started shedding its needles and turned brown, but now it's healthy.

 

 

Tulips and daffodils are blooming late, probably because of the cold nights. They'll open their buds soon.

 

In a week, I'll feed all the plants with a potassium-rich fertilizer. The garden requires constant care.

I wish you a wonderful summer!

 

 

P.S. Dear blogger friends, I always read your posts with pleasure and interest. I'm glad that people from different countries also read my posts. But! There may be a situation where I won't be able to access your blog because the internet will be completely down. I'm very upset about this, of course. As soon as the internet is back up, I'll definitely read your posts. Sorry.
