Blue spring flowers. Early garden perennial flowers

Forest spring primroses. Excursion. April 1st, 2014

A good fairy tale about 12 months, the one where brother April helped a kind girl find snowdrops in a snowy forest. A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it. They say that Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak “spied” the plot of the fairy tale from the Greeks or from a Czech writer, and there such phenological phenomena are quite possible. IN Lately and here in Central Russia, sometimes in the fall, rose hips will suddenly bloom, sometimes alder. But still, these are exceptions to the rules that nature has developed for its own good, adapting to possible short-term temperature fluctuations. Just like yesterday's Moscow blizzard with snow.

It’s still cold and there are no pollinating insects at all, but there are strong gusts of wind, aspen and alder are blooming. They have adapted to the fact that there are no winged helpers. Therefore, pollen is produced in large quantities and there is even such a concept as “Alder has become dusty.”

On the same days, the willow begins to bloom, and a little later other willows. It is to them that the first awakened insects fly, but the willow has a protective device against the cold. Suddenly it starts to snow for a week in April, all the bees will sleep. Therefore, the good ability of many of our willows to produce shoots plays a major role in their dispersal - an abandoned field can turn into impenetrable thickets of willow in a few years.

At the same time, one of its main plants, cotton grass, begins to bloom in the swamp. In the harsh conditions of the tundra and swamps, insects also cannot help with pollination.

And again the wind comes to the rescue. Pollination occurs throughout the entire territory of one swamp at the same time, which is why all the plants bear fruit together and at once; in the summer the swamp begins to resemble a large cotton field.

In damp places and marshy clearings, an inconspicuous plant, the splenium, begins to bloom. Tourists walking through the forests in the spring may not even realize that they are walking through flowering plants - it is so inconspicuous to the eye. Perhaps it would be invisible to insects, but they also see in the ultraviolet range. And if they don’t see it, the “adapted” spleen can pollinate itself and after a couple of weeks disappear underground until next spring. Such plants are called ephemeroids.

But it’s difficult not to notice this plant, or rather not to smell it. You walk through the April forest, the snow is still crunchy, but when it warms up, often at the edge of the forest or clearing, a surprisingly pleasant, subtle and alluring aroma covers the traveler. Here it is - an inconspicuous bush of wolf bast.

Its smell attracts overwintering butterflies and bees like a tincture of valerian for cats. In repeatedly felled forests middle zone Wolfberry is usually a thin small bush. And only once did I come across a real giant in the Valdai National Park with a 4-centimeter thick trunk and a huge dense two-meter cap of flowers.

The wolfberry delights us with its scent, like many early-flowering shrubs even before the leaves fully bloom.

In an undisturbed dark spruce forest, which both in winter and summer, the noble liverwort will flash with rich blue paint. It seems to me that it retains this rich color in the first few days of flowering.

And next to it, under spruce paws If you look a little closer, you can find a completely inconspicuous plant with almost black flowers. This is an evergreen European hoofed grass.

The backdrop for the spring forest is anemones that are always trembling in the wind - to the north and west of Moscow this is the white oak anemone.

To the south and east, yellow anemone buttercup dominates.

For me, dream grass became a real fairy tale of pine forests, old birch groves, sunny edges. Just twenty years ago it was quite common in nature at a short distance from cities. But everything is changing; today this plant is in almost any central region in the regional Red Data Books. In the Novgorod region, together with the Valdai National Park, we organized a small expedition, but found only a few plants in two places.

Another interesting plant spring forest - Peter's cross.

It does not have green leaves, nor does it have chlorophyll. The short flowering period will end and the mysterious Peter's Cross, like Count Dracula, will go underground until next spring or even for several years.

In the meantime, in the aspen forest, last year’s shoots of the ostrich fern glow beautifully in the setting sun. Not a primrose, of course - nice. Some even put it in vases, but these are, of course, not villagers, but biologists.

In more southern or eastern oak forests, the grass cover in spring is not green, but blue. As botanists say, this woodland aspects, i.e. creates a certain color background.

Siberian bluebell, like all lilies, accumulates nutrients in the bulb throughout the year. And then it breaks through the dry and rather dense litter of broad-leaved forests and rushes
up towards the light.

Goose onions do the same in the oak grove.

One day in the riverine ribbon oak groves on the right bank of the Seversky Donets there was no wind. Quiet, the foliage is not making noise yet, because the buds have not bloomed. While removing this goose bow from a low point, I kept feeling a very quiet rustling sound. Are the voles rustling? No - these were thousands of woods and goose onions rushing towards the light through the old foliage.
And on the sandy alluvial dune on the left bank of the Oka, the goose bow does not have to overcome the crust of old leaves. So he grew up so wide-legged.

And in a small forest stream, and on floods, on rivers, marigold rises from the water

Marigold is beautiful at the very beginning of flowering, while the buds look like small yellow-green balls, or on the first day of full flowering.

And then huge burdock leaves will stick out of the water, flying petals will float on the water and try, build a picture in complete chaos of yellow color.

The first mosquito has appeared, which means it’s almost summer. There will be other herbs - violet, oxalis, bathhouse, orchis and lady's slippers, bells and gentians. But this is another summer story about flowering plants.

And finally. I don’t think it’s even worth reminding the readers of my blog that primroses are good where they can grow. They will wilt in the bouquet in a few minutes. But it’s not worth digging up or replanting, only a super experienced person will be able to simulate the natural conditions on personal plot, comply with all conditions of moisture, shading and nutrition for such fragile creatures. But if you have time, go out into the spring forest with a camera and look for the heroes of my story, at least to find out their names.

The first long-awaited spring flowers appear in thawed snow patches. In the summer, when there is so much around bright colors, they would hardly have been noticed Special attention. But after a long winter, even a tiny bud of coltsfoot, grown on bare ground, makes us happy. There are many primroses that can decorate our site. Among them there are some that are still too early to be considered popular.

Adonis spring, or Spring adonis (Adonis vernalis). This perennial (150 years or more!!!) early flowering herbaceous plant of the Ranunculaceae family was known as a medicinal plant back in the 16th century. They were treated for heart disease. Blooms in April - May for 2 - 3 weeks. Adonis, whose flowers light up when exposed to sunlight, is considered a difficult crop to grow by amateur gardeners. Popular names (“yellow flower”, “golden flower”) contain a hint of the color of the flower. In cloudy weather and at night, the flowers close. When growing on the site, it is worth paying attention to the fact that adonis in nature grows better on black earth soils. It is advisable to add a small amount of lime. The place should be well lit; shading can destroy the adonis. Reproduction is difficult due to the low germination rate of seeds (up to 30%), which have an underdeveloped embryo. They need to be sown within one year. Dividing the rhizome is not The best way reproduction, since Adonis may not take root after this. There are several varieties of spring adonis, even with white flowers.

Or anemones (Anemona). Some species of this plant of the Ranunculaceae family replenish the number of primroses. Among them anemone Radde (Anemone raddeana), which in nature grows on Far East. Mass flowering in April - May for two weeks. The maximum height of the peduncle is 25 cm, usually 10 - 15 cm. The flower with white “petals” has a diameter of about 4 cm. The most popular species is the oak anemone (Anemone nemorosa), which grows in the forests of the middle zone and blooms from the beginning of May. Oak anemone loves loose soil. There is a terry variety “Vestal”, which blooms later, towards the middle - end of May.

Spring whiteflower (Leucojum vernum) like the snowdrop belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. This bulbous perennial blooms very early, appearing in thawed areas. The flowers are white, the edges of the petals are corrugated, and there is a yellow or greenish spot on the petals. A peduncle up to 20 cm high can hold not one, but two flowers. Leaves appear towards the end of flowering. The plant grows quickly (especially in the partial shade of trees), forming bouquets of blooming primroses on moist, nutritious soil. Grows well in low areas. Avoids acidified soils, grows better in nutritious soil mixture. Propagated by freshly collected seeds (flowering will have to wait until 6 - 7 years) and by children (dry out quickly). Nests of bulbs need to be replanted after 5 - 6 years. In summer, white flower plantings must be watered.

Bulbocodium spring, or spring brandushka (Bulbocodium vernum). This perennial stemless corm plant (from the Mediterranean, the southern part of Eastern Europe, southern Ukraine) is only 7 - 8 cm high and has pinkish-lilac flowers. They appear in April - May, flowering lasts about three weeks. Narrow, green leaves with a bluish tint, which grow up to 25 cm long, turn yellow and die by mid-summer. Prefers sunny places, fertile soils. Reproduction by seeds (blooms in 6-7 years) and corms.

(Iridodictyum). A miniature bulbous perennial iris belonging to the Iris family. Flowers appear in April - May. In some species they are aromatic. All types and varieties are decorative, perfect for rockeries and flower beds, where the bulbs are planted on the south side. The color of the flowers is different. This bulbous plant is winter-hardy; most species overwinter without cover. The light-loving plant tolerates partial shading. On fertile soils (neutral) a whole nest of bulbs is formed in three years. Does not tolerate prolonged waterlogging and planting in damp places. The bulbs are left without replanting for 4 - 5 (up to 8) years. In the flower departments of stores you can buy bags of iridodictium bulbs of one color or a mixture. Until planting in the second half of September, store at a temperature of about 18 - 20 ° C. Seed propagation is often used for breeding purposes.

Bulbous snowdrop iris

Marsh marigold (Caltha palusrtis). The name of this plant confirms its craving for damp places: “kaluzha” = “puddle, swamp.” One of the popular names for marigold is “paddling pool.” You can see marigold near water bodies and in damp meadows throughout most of Russia, when its bright yellow simple flowers bloom from the end of April. Eat garden form with white-yellow flowers and with golden-yellow double flowers. Flowering lasts about 20 days. After flowering ends, the leaves grow. All parts of marigold are slightly poisonous. The marigold appeared on our site on its own. Not only near the decorative pool, but also under... blackberries. This golden flowered plant looks wonderful in spring. Later it dissolves in the greenery of other plants.

Kandyk (Erythronium). This interesting plant, called "dog's fang" for the color and shape of the bulb, grows in forest edges, meadows and in damp but light forests. Some species are grown by amateur gardeners on their plots. This is, first of all, hybrid erythronium, which blooms in April. Flowering does not last long, no more than two weeks. There are varieties with bright crimson flowers, lilac-pink, white, etc. Their central part has a contrasting color. American erythronium, whitish erythronium and some other species (Siberian kandyk, Caucasian kandyk) are also grown with slight shading on light soils with an acidic reaction. The bulbs are planted and replanted in the second half of July - in August. Protect them from drying out. Kandyk grows without transplanting for up to 6 years, during which time it forms a beautiful clump. Kandyk is not replanted in spring!

Spring crocuses

Merendera three-columnar (Merendera trigyna). This is a very beautiful corm plant, 5 - 12 cm high. Blooming in April (at the same time as crocuses), it is rarely found in our areas. One of the problems is poor reproduction. Merendera is a cold-resistant crop. Neither spring frosts nor snowfalls kill it. The flowers are pink, appearing later than expected - whitish. The diameter of each flower is from 3 to 5 cm. Another species blooms in early spring, Merendera Radde (Merendera raddeana). Its light purple-pink flowers resemble those of crocuses. Merenderu is most often propagated by seeds (autumn sowing), which bloom in 3-4 years.

Hellebore (Helleborus). This plant of the Ranunculaceae family is called “Christ’s Rose” in Europe. A rhizomatous perennial with evergreen leaves blooms in April - May. The color of the flowers is white, yellowish with green tint, burgundy, peach, dark reddish, etc. Hellebore is grown in partial shade. Water moderately, do not plant in damp places or where melt water stagnates for a long time. High frost resistance. Hellebores reproduce by division, less commonly by seeds. Be careful, the plant is poisonous.

(Muscari). This unpretentious perennial bulbous primrose is known to many as “mouse hyacinth” or “viper onion”. Most likely due to appearance and the smell of some species, reminiscent of musk. There are several dozen species in the genus. Not all of them can be cultivated in Russia. Muscari is especially good at a young age, until the elongated peduncles fall under the weight of the inflorescences. Flowers are more common (collected in spike-shaped inflorescences) different shades blue color. In our areas, Armenian (Colchian) muscari usually blooms with bright blue flowers and white “teeth”. There are varieties with white, purple and dark blue inflorescences. Incredibly decorative inflorescences with smooth transitions different shades of color. Flowering (late April - May) lasts 3 - 4 weeks. The seeds form the lower tiers of inflorescences, which usually consist of 40 or more flowers. A very interesting late-flowering variety “Blue Spike” has inflorescences with up to 170 flowers!!! It is decorative for 20 - 22 days. “Terry” varieties do not set seeds; they need to be propagated only by children. Other species are also popular, for example, muscari grapevine. It is worth considering the heat-loving nature of some species (muscari latifolia). Nests of bulbs are planted every five years. When sowing flowering seeds, you have to wait about three years.

Daffodils. Early varieties Daffodils bloom in late April - early May.

(Hepatica). This charming perennial in the Moscow region it blooms in the second half of April. In nature, it can be seen on slopes and other dry places freed from snow. Our liverwort has settled among the stones on alpine slide. Delicate blue, light blue, whitish, pink and violet-blue single and double flowers are visible from afar. The bright yellow stamens are clearly visible on them. The liverwort settles into the area and begins to grow weeds. You can read about the liverwort in the article.

Or galanthus (Galanthus). Primrose belongs to the Amaryllis family. More often they are planted in areas snowdrop white (Galanthus nivalis) or another type, Elwes snowdrop (Galanthus Elwesii) and its hybrids. This bulbous plant may not bloom for the first couple of years as it gets used to its new location. After this, galanthus will invariably bloom in those places where snow lay yesterday. There are no worries with this primrose. It can remain in one place without transplanting for 5 - 6 years. They say that a long, frosty winter prolongs the flowering period of galanthus. After flowering ends, the leaves gradually die off. Detailed description Snowdrops and caring for them are in the article.

Snowdrop (galanthus)

Or Scylla (Scilla). The earliest of the woodlings - scylla bifolia (Scilla bifolia) with pink, blue and white flowers. Flowers appear soon scylla sibirica (Scilla sibirica) with blue or white flowers. At the same time, the blue and white blossoms Scylla Tubergena (Scilla tubergeniana) and grandiflora Scylla Rosen (Scilla Rosenii). Scillas often become weeds because their seeds are taken away by ants. Scilla grows well in semi-shaded places.

Gardeners respect bright flowers. To grow a flowering plant in your garden, you need to find the subtleties of its content. Any plant requires individual approach. In this article, the authors intended to present several articles in order to avoid diseases during cultivation exotic plant. The subtleties of maintaining many classes of colors are no different. To determine useful activities, we recommend determining which group your pet belongs to.

Photos of spring flowers - primroses

Spring flowers, in particular early blooming ones, are popularly called primroses; for their uniqueness, they begin to grow even under the snow cover. The first spring flowers that delight us after the long winter months are, of course, bulbous and small-bulbous. These cute harbingers of spring appear in our flower beds as soon as the snow melts.

Early-flowering small-bulbous plants include spring whiteflower, crocuses, scillas, muscari, snowdrops, and pushkinias. The bulbous group includes tulips, daffodils, hyacinths....

In order to enjoy the wonderful spectacle of flowering bulbs in the spring, you need to take care of this in the fall. Bulbs are usually planted in September-October. First of all, you can plant small-bulbed flowers, then hyacinths, daffodils, and tulips. The planting depth is approximately equal to three bulb diameters. There is no need to cover bulbous plantings for the winter.

Small-bulbous plants are very easy to care for, do not require annual digging, and are not capricious. Spring flowers grow on almost any soil. They look most advantageous if planted in large groups. Plant, keeping a distance of about 10 cm between adjacent bulbs. Thus, by 1 square meter Approximately 100 bulbs are planted.

But it should be borne in mind that small-bulbous plants grow quickly and eventually form large nests of bulbs. Therefore, they must be divided every few years. This is done at the end of spring or at the beginning of summer, after all the leaves have turned yellow.

Bulbous plants need more care than small bulbous ones; they prefer fertile soils rich in organic matter. Tulips, in addition to botanical species, require annual digging for the summer. Daffodils are less demanding; they grow in one place for years without digging, multiplying quickly.

Now a huge number of varieties of daffodils have been bred. Among them there are dwarf ones (about 8 cm high) and tall ones (up to 60 cm). Flowers, in addition to the usual white and yellow colors, can be orange, pale pink, cream, or apricot.

Typically, spring bulbous and small bulbous plants are planted between herbaceous perennials. Flowers - primroses look good in rock gardens, in company with early flowering biennials, for example, forget-me-nots, daisies, pansies.

The first flowers of spring. Which plants are the first to greet spring?

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 and insects have awakened in the earth, the earth itself is ready to accept into its bosom every living creature, every smallest blade of grass. And now, among the islands of porous snow, the boldest flowers begin to appear - snowdrops. We usually call all spring primroses snowdrops, although the true snowdrop - galanthus - is only one of many types spring primroses. This is the very first flower in spring, and it does not grow in all regions. The flower looks like a small white lantern on a thin stem. It can withstand temperatures down to -10 degrees. Only in such cold does it become fragile, like thin glass. But as soon as the sun comes out, galanthus comes to life.

Delicate snowdrops - awakening of nature

The Slavic legend says how one day the old woman Winter decided not to let Spring come to earth. The flowers drooped from fear, one snowdrop was not afraid and 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 snowdrops have been inseparable.

The first flowers of spring, which in many areas are also called snowdrops, are nothing more than dream grass, corydalis or lumbago. They say that once upon a time 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, discovering his hiding place, threw an arrow at him. And the leaves of the dream grass remained shot through - cut into thin slices. The lumbago also blooms even at sub-zero temperatures. The whole secret of this, it turns out, is in the cup of the flower. She, like a concave mirror, collects into herself solar heat. And the temperature inside the cup is +8 degrees.

What other flowers appear first in spring?

A little later than the snowdrop, the sun-yellow spring adonis, or adonis, blooms. In some areas it is also called starodubka.

In Russian villages, spring is the time when poultry begins to hatch their chicks. At this time, it was strictly forbidden to bring home both adonis and dream grass; it was believed that these flowers could harm future bird offspring.

The same first flowers of spring have different names in different regions. This is due to the fact that people, not knowing botanical scientific names, gave the flowers their names.

The very first flowers in spring:

• vernal;
• anemone;
• coltsfoot;
• dandelion;
• lungwort;
• grouse;
• periwinkle;
• buttercup;
• viper onion;
• wild iris (in some rural areas it bears the poetic name “cuckoo tears”, or “pikulki”).

The first flowers of spring do not indulge in the luxury of their bloom for long. A few days will pass, and they will shed their petals and go into a state of rest, or summer hibernation. During this time, they accumulate nutrients in the roots, often in the bulbs, which will give them the strength to bloom before anyone else next spring.

Primrose and crocus - spring rebirth

In summer cottages and gardens, perennial primroses, brothers of forest flowers, only cultivated, are also the first to wake up. What flowers appear first in spring in garden plots?

First of all, this is a real primrose - primrose. Its name is translated from Latin - “first”. Primrose blooms in all the colors of the rainbow. People call it rams or golden keys. They say that these “keys” open the door to summer.

There is also a superstition that primrose can open hidden treasures. A maiden dressed in white robes and holding a golden key in her hand allegedly sometimes appears in the fields. And if you pick a primrose with her, the flower receives a magical gift of finding underground and opening treasures.

And the royal primrose, which grows on the slopes of volcanoes, blooms shortly before a volcanic eruption, thereby warning people of danger.

Simultaneously with the primrose, and sometimes even before it, the lovely crocuses open their blue eyes. True, there are crocuses of other colors - purple, white and even striped. Another name for crocus is saffron. That's what they call it in Crimea. Previously, in nature, these flowers were only yellow. This flower is mentioned in the Old Testament and in ancient medical treatises. It turns out that saffron is one of the oldest spices.

True, in our country it is not crocuses that are called saffron, but marigolds. And they bloom much later, already at the height of summer.

Strict handsome tulip

In spring the beautiful tulip also blooms. He looks strict, but the color of his outfit is sometimes the most frivolous! There is an ancient legend about the tulip. Like a bud yellow flower contained happiness, but no one was able to get to it because the flower did not open. But one day a child picked up this tulip. His sinless soul, carefree laughter and sunny childish joy performed a miracle - the bud opened.

In the East, the yellow tulip is considered a flower of happiness, although we have a different interpretation. But red tulips are everywhere - a symbol of passionate love. Now many varieties of tulips have been developed. There is even an exotic black flower.

Hyacinth - the flower of fidelity, happiness and sorrow

Another spring flower is hyacinth. Its multi-colored sultana inflorescences appealed to many gardeners. Hyacinth is a flower of fidelity, happiness and sorrow. And, of course, he has his own legend.

The god Apollo had a favorite on earth - a simple boy named Hyacinth. They often started sports competitions. Once Apollo threw a disk, and it flew towards Hyacinth. Splashes of the young man's blood sprinkled the grass, where lilac-red flowers soon grew, which the ancient Greeks called hyacinths.

The flower quickly spread throughout the world and, thanks to its beauty and aroma, became a favorite in many countries. Only in France in the past was hyacinth used “for showdowns” in palace intrigues. Flowers sprayed with poison were placed in the victim's boudoir. The poison, together with essential oils, penetrated the human body and killed him.

If you look closely, you will see that the hyacinth inflorescence consists of many miniature lilies. During its “cultivation,” the range of colors and shades expanded, and terry hyacinth was bred through selection.

Narcissist

In many gardens, the first harbingers of spring are daffodils. Among some nationalities, the flower is considered a medicinal plant. Everyone is well aware of the legend about the young man Narcissus, who fell in love with himself after seeing his reflection in a transparent stream. It is this legend that is to blame for the fact that the narcissus has long been called the flower of narcissists.

Even flowers' appearances can be deceiving. The elegant appearance and delicate petals of the narcissus mislead many people and make them consider it fragile and vulnerable. Nothing like this! This flower is unpretentious, strong, and in the wild can successfully resist various rodents.

Lilies of the valley - Happy May hello

First flower ball

After the gray ones winter days You especially yearn for living colors. That's why we look forward to the first spring flowers with their delicate sky blue and pink colors.

It doesn’t matter if you didn’t have time to plant the bulbs in pots last fall, this shouldn’t stop you from enjoying their vibrant freshness. At your service is a large selection of spring beauties driven out by gardeners, which can be purchased in specialized stores and nurseries.

It is important to remember: expelled spring flowers should be in a protected place - against the wall of the house or on the balcony. If there is a danger of night frosts, they should be covered with film or wrapped in newspaper. During prolonged cold weather, move the flowers to a frost-free garage or a cool, lighted area in the house.

Regularly ensure that the soil in the pots is constantly moist, because on sunny days the substrate in small containers dries out quite quickly. And in order not to overwater the plant, the pot must have a drain hole.

This equally applies to hanging flowers if they are not protected from rain. Seasonal visitors, such as daisies and pansies, do not need feeding.

Bulbous plants need to be added to water for irrigation once every two weeks. liquid fertilizer. Take care of the flowers until they have completely faded, then next season they will again delight you with their delicate colors.

We suggest that you abandon bulbous varieties with rich yellow and red flowers and instead purchase flowers in soft pastel colors. You will find them among crocuses, scillas, muscari, tulips and snowdrops. These bulbs pair well with pansies, daisies, primroses and violets. You just need to choose decent pots for this motley company.

Mouse hyacinth

Mouse hyacinth, or Armenian muscari (Muscari armeniacum), depending on the variety, displays sky blue, purple, white or pink flower candles.
