Color Collage with Lichen, Cherry and Off-White

Color Collage 20/2021 

This time the Novita Classic color hades are: Lichen, Cherry and Off-White. 

In the middle there is a blooming rhubarb.

Friday Bliss #139 - Enjoy the Life!

Finally we have got summer temperatures of 19-25 C. In the sun on our terrace 35 C!

It has been a gorgeous week. The nature is awakening rapidly, trees are sprouting 

and new joys can be noticed every day. I have Anemone ranunculoides growing 

in many places. Have not planted them, they have just appeared by themselves.

I don’t usually buy hydrangeas, neither in pot or as cut flowers,

because I don’t know how to take care of them.

As Mother’s Day present I got this gorgeous lilac hydrangea together with

a beautiful poetry book: To Mother, poems about life and love.

The book contains classic Finnish poetry of Eino Leino, Katri Vala, 

Saima Harmaja, Uuno Kailas etc. Such a sweet gift.

FLOWERING EARTH

by Katri Vala (1901-1944)

The earth bubbling with purple lilac sprays,

white mildew of the rowans,

red star clusters of sticky catchflies.

Blue, yellow, white flowers

undulating as meadows of mad seas. 

And the smell! 

More wonderful than the holy incense! 

Hot and vibrant and madly insane, 

the pagan scent of the earth's skin!

Live, live, live! 

Live furiously the high moment of life, 

the petals extremely open, 

live blooming fabulously.

Be delirious about the scent, the sun -

be drugged, live to the fullest!

What about the fact that death is coming! 

What about that this multicolored beauty 

falls withered onto the ground. 

After all, we have blossomed once! 

The sun has shone, 

the great and burning love of heaven, 

directly to our blooming hearts, 

to the vibrating core of our being!

Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave week after week at Friday Bliss.

Wishing a sunny weekend!

Time of Groundcovers

As we got some lovely warm temperatures, many groundcovers are in full bloom.

Scillas are soon over but Omphalodes verna is gorgeous in its blue and

they are blooming in many spots around my garden.

Yellow Ficaria verna conquers every year more space.

It blooms around hostas that are not yet showing.

Anemone ranunculoides is also a sweet & sunny spring bloom.

Veronica filiformis is also eager to spread. Here in the middle of Stachys byzantina.

Gorgeous sunny spring!

May’s Tiny Beauties

As this year’s May has been so cold, scillas and wild anemones are still in bloom.

This year I grow yellow Tropaeolum from seed and Lysimachia mummularia ’Aurea’ 

from small lumps. Lysimachia spend the winter planted into ground and I use them in pot plantings.

Not yet real sprouting as you can see. A few wood pigeons visit daily my garden.
