Warm temperatures and sometimes rain – ideal weather for growing!
One after the other – every day, a new plant has grown or bloomed somewhere.
The Japanese winterflower (Chimonanthus praecox) is finally showing its flowers after five years (albeit a little late: it should bloom in February!). The currants are unfolding delicate green leaves, the bergenias are peeking out pink, and the Helleborus orientalis roses are in full bloom.
The ground is still quite bare, broken up by small islands of primroses and small daffodils. In some places, night violets and violets mingle with them: the peonies are stretching their stems, and the blue cones of grape hyacinths shine everywhere.
The first tulip stands alone, but sometimes we also see some wild tulips, anemones, and hyacinths in various colors.
The roses already have strong shoots, and the euphorbias will soon bloom. So will the mahonias.
The first frogs are making themselves known at the pond, and the forsythia is outshining the courtyard garden with its vibrant yellow.
