Hereborus flowers are now fully bloomed here and there in our garden.
We can look at many signs of coming spring such as enlarging flower buds of cherry, plum and blueberry. In the potager, I have found spears of asparagus for the first time this year.
February is going and March will soon come, and we can look at vigorous regeneration of plants and wildlife again. I do really love March and April.
(クリスマスローズの花が庭のあちこちで満開になっています。サクラやスモモ、ブルーベリーの花芽の膨らみなど春の兆候がたくさんみられるようになりました。ポタジェでは今年初めてアスパラガスの芽が伸びてきているのを見つけました。二月は去りつつあり、植物や野生動物たちの旺盛な再生がまた見られる三月がすぐそこに来ています。私は三月と四月が大好きです。)
Next five pictures were taken under plum trees.

This photo was taken at the entrance of our garden, where snow drops have been blooming.
(この写真は庭の入り口のスノードロップがずっと咲いているところで撮影しました。)
The last photo was taken at the shady slope garden.

My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

庭の紹介
夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました. 赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.
2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.
I love hellebores! I had a lot in my last garden and must get some for this one. They are so lovely and delicate and a contrast to anything else which flowers at this time of the years.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they stand out in early spring, and will last until the flowering season of cherry blossoms in our area.
DeleteDear Poirot
ReplyDeleteYour hellebores are beautiful. I have three plants but so far, they are only in bud. I am looking forward to seeing the flowers. I love March and April (and May) too - everything is growing and there is something new to be seen every day.
Best wishes
Ellie
Dear Ellie
DeleteBeautiful light green leaves and exiting expectations of full bloom of roses and other flowers (in May) is my favorites; they're in March and April in our area.
What a lovely range of Hellebores. I am going to try to find a double one next year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. My wife also loves hellebores very much, and she has bought additional ones recently.
