the garden, the years go by but not alike. The weather conditions can cause painful failures, yet he sometimes had positive consequences and the gardener can have real surprises but not for something. These are the moments I enjoy most, a real satisfaction obtained without any effort, it buys a lot of disappointments. The joy is even greater than the surprise occurs in winter, when few plants are able to have a truly massive flowering.
This is especially true for Bodnant viburnum that I have ever seen too flowery garden since its installation in ten years ago. Certainly, it has always flourished, but I found it blooms a little thin, small bouquets of flowers and sparse. Sometimes, like last year, frost destroying them.
This year they are very numerous, very large and well distributed throughout the crown of the shrub. With the extreme softness of these days, it is all open and I must admit that I am amazed at such a profusion of flowers. I finally have a massive bloom that I often admired (and envied too, I admit) with other gardeners. In truth, I am not responsible for this success, they are indeed the conditions that explain it.
Sufficient moisture in autumn at the time of bud formation and especially a great sweetness in January and February with rare and weak jellies enabled buttons well formed and then hatch. I really recommend this viburnum because it requires no care. Just be patient, the bloom is really nice that after a number of years.
The reticulated iris garden, planted in a corner of the lawn or sat once a rowan also surprised me, both at the early flowering and by their number, as if they were naturalized, indifferent to the drought that plagued much of last year. In three days, they have flourished completely. I remember being planted there five or six years less than a dozen bulbs that now form a beautiful carpet. They too are a safe bet, since they are among the earliest bulbs to bloom with crocuses.
I do not know what will happen in the spring but winter, despite a healthy dose of gray air was rich in colors and prints. Certainly he will remain in my memory.
