An amazing thing - in winter, a person rejoices in the white garment of the earth, fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky, hard frost, but as soon as the first month of spring comes, we suddenly feel how tired of the black and white winter picture! The body craves for warmth and light, the eyes - bright colors, and every spring the soul seems to get out of the shell towards the renewed world, which is being reborn to a new life.
The first flowers of spring in the forest and meadows
The first thawed patches have just appeared in the forest, and life invisible to the eye is already boiling on them - various larvae, insects have woken up in the ground, the earth itself is ready to take into its bosom every living creature, every smallest blade of grass. And now, among the islands of porous snow, the most daring flowers - snowdrops - begin to appear. It is customary to call everything snowdrops spring primroses, although the true snowdrop - galanthus - is only one of the many species of spring primroses. This is the very first flower in the spring, and it does not grow in all regions. The flower looks like a small white lantern on a slender stem. It can withstand temperatures down to -10 degrees. Only in such cold weather does it become fragile, like thin glass. But as soon as the sun peeps out, Galanthus comes to life.
Delicate snowdrops - the awakening of nature
In the legend of the Slavs, it is said that once Winter the old woman decided not to let Spring on the earth. The flowers drooped with fear, one snowdrop was not afraid, opened its petals. The sun saw him, warmed everything on earth with its warmth and cleared the way for the beautiful Spring. Since then, spring and snowdrop have been inseparable.
The first flowers of spring, which in many areas are also called snowdrops, are nothing more than a dream-grass, corydalis or lumbago. They say that once the leaves of the lumbago were so large and wide that Satan, who was expelled from paradise, could hide behind them. But the archangel Michael, finding his refuge, threw an arrow at him. And the leaves of the dream-grass remained shot through - cut into thin slices. The lumbago blooms, too, even with sub-zero temperature... The whole secret of this, it turns out, is in the calyx of the flower. She, like a concave mirror, collects the heat of the sun. And the temperature inside the cup is +8 degrees.
What other flowers appear first in spring?
A little later the snowdrop blooms yellow like the sun, spring adonis, or adonis. In some parts of the world it is also called the old woman.
In Russian villages, spring is the time for poultry to hatch their chicks. At this time, it was strictly forbidden to bring home both adonis and sleep-grass, it was believed that these flowers could harm future bird offspring.
So spring has come, it's time for flowering. It's time when the air is filled with spring aromas. Each flower looks at us, as if it wants to say something. Perhaps, if you listen carefully, you can understand what the flowers are talking about?
The first rays of spring, gently caressing the face, and blossoming flowers, pleasing to the eye, rarely leave anyone indifferent. The appearance of these messengers of spring testifies to the fact that a wonderful time has fully come into its own. What flowers bloom in spring and which of them can act as an elegant flower bed decoration?
First spring flowers
Primroses are among the first to fill the garden with colors and a delicate aroma after hibernation. They delight with their appearance from the moment when timid streams begin to descend, carrying away the melted snow. Yes, they do not abound in a special richness of colors, but they require a minimum of maintenance.
A snowdrop or bell, as the English affectionately call it, is the first to appear on the thawed patches. Cold-resistant plants can easily tolerate even minor frosts and therefore are among the first to bloom in early spring.
Snowdrop, like other small-bulbous, is an ephemeroid. After a short vegetative period, its aboveground part dies off. The plant is not demanding to care for, but prefers a nutritious, loose and well-drained soil. When the water stagnates, the bulbs die.
Helleborus hellebore
The name of the plant speaks for itself. You can enjoy its flowering even at the end of February. The inflorescences of an evergreen perennial are very beautiful. They resemble lanterns with drooping heads, the size of which reaches 8 cm.
When choosing a "Christmas rose" to decorate a flower bed, it should be borne in mind that it belongs to the buttercup family, and therefore all of its relatives are poisonous. It is better to plant it in the partial shade of trees and shrubs, forming in small groups - this is how the hellebore looks most advantageous against the background of a snow-covered garden.
Saffron Crocus
Flower of awakening nature and goddess dawn Aurora. Botanical species are the first to delight with flowering, towards the end of March - numerous crocus hybrids.
Crocuses should be planted in well-lit areas where water does not stagnate. They look most impressive in group compositions and in combination with other primroses against a background of gray stones.
Plant care is minimal. In the spring, you only need to remove wilted flowers as necessary, and for the winter to mulch the bulbs remaining in the ground with compost or foliage.
Blue miniature flowers appear as soon as the snow melts. The meadows of flowering forests are very similar to lakes, which are a reflection of the clear spring sky. Forest dwellers found a place for themselves on garden plots... They are often decorated with rockeries and rock gardens.
The varietal species of this primrose are very diverse. Color palette petal colors range from white and pale pink to blue and purple.
Pleski are not capricious. The best place there will be a canopy for them orchard with fertile and well-drained soil.
Narcissus
It is impossible to imagine a spring garden without these sunny flowers. Dazzling white and bright yellow daffodils will herald the arrival of spring warmth.
The name of the flowers, graceful in shape, translated from Greek as "stupefy" or "intoxicate" is justified by an incredibly strong attractive scent. Daffodils are popular plants. Today there are over 30 thousand varieties of them. Among connoisseurs natural beauty the most popular are terry, tubular, large-crown and multiflorous varieties... They all have beautiful flowers medium-sized with a pericolor crown of one or two colors.
Depending on the variety and planting site, daffodils bloom from mid-April to June. They look most impressive as group plantings in the form of green "pillows", from which several flowering arrows are thrown out.
Daffodils are unpretentious, grow on any type of soil, with the exception of waterlogged ones. They always respond to feeding with complex fertilizers with lush and long flowering.
Tip: For primroses to bloom in the spring, they must be planted in the fall. Both rhizome and bulbous primroses are best planted in well-lit places with moist, but at the same time free from stagnant soil.
Later species
Primroses are replaced by other spring beauties, showing themselves in all their glory in the second half of March and April.
Snowdrop irises are hardy bulbous perennials. They are revered by gardeners for their unusual beauty. Flowers of the original shape with a diameter of 5-7 cm are decorated with an interesting ornament of contrasting spots and stripes. The color palette of iridodictums is very diverse, ranging from pale blues and purples to orange and purples.
Snowdrop irises love light, nutritious soils. The main thing is to provide enough light. In order for these beauties to start blooming in the spring, it is better to plant them in early autumn. The best way reproduction - vegetative, in which an adult bulb forms 1-2 full-fledged substitutes.
A herbaceous perennial with a bulbous root forms low "pillows" woven from carved foliage and elegant flowers-suns. It is one of the first to bloom: golden single heads appear directly from under the snow. Vesennik pleases with the splendor of flowering for 2-3 weeks.
To enjoy the flowering of erantis in early spring, it is worth taking care of its rooting in the fall. The plant can be propagated both vegetatively and interchangeably.
Extremely attractive, rapidly expanding and yet exceptionally unpretentious plant worthy of living in any flower garden. Muscari species, differing in flowering time over a dozen. The earliest of them bloom in April. Blue flowers look spectacular in single group monoplants and in combination with colorful tulips and daffodils.
When choosing companions for muscari, it should be borne in mind that after the blue "spikelets" fade away, the foliage also dies off. Therefore, it is better to plant plants in the neighborhood, the leaves of which are capable of hiding withered greens.
Primrose primrose
"Keys", "flower of the twelve gods", "house for gnomes" - as soon as they do not call a flower beloved by many gardeners. The genus of these primroses includes more than 550 species, and only a small part of them are grown in culture. The coloration of modern varieties is very diverse, often including two- and three-color combinations, complemented by ornaments of dots and strokes. Flowers can have the most different shape and the degree of terry.
Primroses are one of the few that bloom from spring to autumn. Different varieties differ in terms of flowering, some of them bloom from the second half of March to June, others delight with flowering at the height of summer, and some remontant varieties even surprise with repeated splendor in early autumn. With the correct selection of components, you can make a mono flower that will remain presentable throughout the season.
The creeping dwarf shrub retains its foliage even under snow. As soon as the ground begins to thaw, warmed by the sun's rays of spring, young shoots immediately appear on the plant. By mid-April, these stems are covered with numerous blue flowers.
In addition to the traditional periwinkle with simple blue petals, several varieties of this plant have been bred in lilac, pink and even red colors. The color of the foliage of the creeping rug can also be different: both monochromatic and variegated with yellow and white patterns.
The semi-shrub prefers semi-shaded and shady areas with well-moistened soil. An undemanding plant easily propagates by cuttings or dividing the rhizome and quickly grows green mass.
A graceful herbaceous plant conquers with a variety of shapes and colors of buds: simple and double, monochromatic and two-tone, delicate colors and colorful shades ... The name of the anemone, which literally translated from Greek sounds like "daughter of the winds" fully justifies its name. Anemone petals respond with trembling even to the weakest gusts of wind.
Having decided to supplement the spring garden with beautiful anemones, keep in mind that they are of two types: rhizome and tuberous. The former are not demanding to care for and easily react to the "flaws" of cultivation, the latter are more picky, instantly responding with a loss of attractiveness. All anemones are ephemeroids, and therefore their overground flowering cycle is very short: waking up in April, they bloom together in May and retire closer to July.
The plant, inconspicuous at first glance, owes its name to the unusual execution of inflorescences, which simultaneously combines pink and blue flowers... The lungwort blooms during the period when there is still no foliage on the trees, and pleases with flowering for 4 weeks. The grace of bell-shaped flowers is emphasized by the monochromatic or spotted foliage framing the plant, covered with a delicate edge.
The lungwort is shade-tolerant, frost-resistant and unassuming to care for. Disembarkation of lungwort in spring garden beneficial in the sense that even after the end of flowering, it retains the decorative appearance throughout the growing season. And therefore, until late autumn, it can act as a worthy background for flowering summer houses.
Pansies
Among the early flowering plants, viola occupies one of the first places in the ranking of flower growers. They are prized for their sophisticated beauty and profuse flowering... Variety of shapes, sizes and color combinations these plants are simply incredible: starting with a snow-white and pale blue shade and ending with red, purple and even black undertones.
Pansies are created through selection based on the common tricolor violet. Only in contrast to their "progenitor" they have larger and more expressive flowers, the size of which varies within 10-30 cm. Today there are more than 450 varieties of this plant. The main advantage of the created hybrids is the ability to bloom profusely not only in spring, but also throughout the summer.
A perennial undersized plant belonging to the lily family, the name of which, when literally translated from Greek, sounds like "snow pride". Indeed, this sky-blue beauty blooms right out of the snow.
Compact bushes with a height of only 10-12 cm are decorated with spreading broad-lanceolate leaves and single star-shaped flowers collected in cluster inflorescences. The miniature cups in blue, white or pink always point upwards.
Chionodoxa grows well in sunny areas, but also tolerates light shading. It is most decorative on fertile, air-permeable soil with neutral Ph.
The selection is completed by another early flowering representative of the lily family, belonging to the hyacinth subfamily. Its main decoration is tiny bell-shaped flowers of a pale blue or white hue, collected in racemose inflorescences.
In the garden, Pushkinia is planted in rocky compositions, mixborders and borders along the paths. The spring beauty is very picturesque on the spring lawns and near-trunk circles trees with spreading crowns. With a little effort to care for this picky plant, you can get a lot of pleasure in admiring its long and lush flowering.
Any of the presented plants is interesting in its own way. The main thing, remember - in order to ensure a continuous riot of colors in the flower bed, it is better to plant spring primroses in a company with perennials, which will replace them after extinction.
