What is a dacha without flowers! Spring flowers in the flowerbed have become a must-have decoration, especially those types that require minimal effort to grow and at the same time have an excellent aesthetic appearance. A flowerbed of spring flowers can be created either from plants of the same species with different colors of inflorescences, or it can be arranged from flowers of different types so that they harmoniously combine with each other in height, spreading and color scheme.

In this article we will look at the most popular spring flowers for flower beds.

Belongs to plants of the Liliaceae family. It is perhaps the most popular perennial decorative spring flower. His homeland is Asia. Today, more than 150 of its species are known, and breeders continue to work on developing new ones. The tulip is often called the “king of spring flower beds” for its unique appearance, special decorativeness and colorful variety of petals and types of inflorescences, as well as for the fact that these are the first and earliest flowers in the country in the spring.

Did you know? Early varieties tulips - Candy Prince, Cooler Cardinal, Duke van Tol (simple), Abba (the smallest of tulips - up to 10 cm in height), Monte Carlo, Peach Blossom, Beauty of Apeldoorn, Ice Cream (terry).

Tulips are suitable for any gardens, flower beds, flower beds. They look great in group compositions, rockeries, alpine slides, borders and flowerpots. They are combined with almost all flowers, but a spring flower bed consisting of tulips, daffodils, lilies of the valley, and crocuses looks especially advantageous. Particularly beautiful are compositions of tulips of different colors and/or shades with lawn grasses and low-growing shrubs. Also spring beautiful flowers tulips are cut for vases and often decorate homes and premises, and are used for interior decoration during a variety of events.

Crocuses are spring flowers, the name of which is also familiar to everyone. Crocus is a perennial from the Kasatikov family. In appearance, it is a bit like a tulip, only with narrower leaves, much lower in height, since it does not have a ground stem, and the inflorescence blooms directly from the root tuber. Its homeland is the Mediterranean, the Caucasus, and Crimea. Crocuses are also the earliest flowers to appear in spring after winter. They are very decorative, with delicate petals of various colors and always a rich orange pistil.

Did you know? Collected and dried crocus stigmas are called saffron - one of the most expensive spices in the world.

The colors of the inflorescences are lilac, white-lilac, pink-lilac, yellow, pink, orange, white, purple, etc. Today there are more than 280 varieties of crocus, including 14 separate groups - spring flowering. Popular varieties of spring crocuses are Zubflaus, Zwanenburg, Doctor Lotsi, Confidence, Albus Biflorus Veldenii, Alexander, Princess Beatrice, Lady Killer, Blue Pearl, Nanetta, Marietta, Albion, Inchantress, Harlem Jam, Pickwick, Negro Boy.

Crocus is an unpretentious flower, takes root and reproduces well, is resistant to many garden pests and practically never gets sick. Flowering period – up to 1 month.

Grouse

Or fritillaria. The name hazel grouse is a folk one, given because of the variegation of the flower inflorescences, after the name of the hazel grouse bird of the same name. Hazel grouse is a magnificent decorative, tall, perennial bulbous flower Liliaceae family. Its homeland is Central Asia, the Caucasus. More than 90 species of fritillaria are known, among which such spring ones are especially popular. beautiful varieties– Imperial, Aurora, Orange Diamond, Maxima Rubra, Maxima Lutea, Prolifera, Flav.
The hazel grouse stands out among all flowers for its exoticism - it has a long, powerful stem (90-140 cm) with large drooping cup-shaped inflorescences (5-6 pieces), on top of which the leaves gathered in a bunch rise in the crown. Low, lush foliage also surrounds the stem at the root. The flowers are orange, yellow and all shades of red, and inside them there are spots and rims along the edge of the petals. Fritilaria is absolutely unpretentious and looks great in a park, garden, alpine hill, lawn, rocky gardens, rock gardens. Flowering duration is 2.5-3 weeks.

Important! All early flowers are planted in winter - at the end of summer or beginning of autumn. Plants have time to take root, overwinter, harden and in early spring“wake up” and start growing.

The well-known white spring flowers, snowdrops, are a rare endangered species listed in the Red Book. Their name speaks for itself - “appearing from under the snow.” Snowdrops are the earliest flowers that are always associated with spring; they have long become a symbol of the onset of warming and the awakening of nature after hibernation. The first flowers of spring, whose second name is galanthus, belong to the perennial bulbous herbaceous flowering plants of the Amaryllis family.
More than 16 species of galanthus are known, growing in their natural environment in Europe, the Caucasus, Asia, and Crimea. The flowers are low - up to 15-18 cm in height, with delicate tiny drooping milky-white bell-shaped inflorescences and two linear pointed leaves. Galanthus appear already in March and bloom for 2-3 weeks. Today you can buy bulbs for seedlings of the following varieties of snowdrops - Flore Pleno, Galanthus Voronova, Galanthus Nivalis, Galanthus Elvis.

Did you know? By growing snowdrops on your property, you will not only get aesthetic pleasure while admiring the wonderful flowers, but you will also contribute to the protection and preservation of the galanthus population.

Snowdrops go well with all the early spring garden flowers without exception; they also look great on their own, especially their different varieties planted simultaneously in one area.

Hyacinth

This is a perennial original corm flower belonging to the Liliaceae family. The flower, at the top of a thick, erect short stem in the shape of a cone, has many, up to 43-45, adjacent bell inflorescences. The color of their petals is white, purple, blue, pink, yellow, red, orange, lilac, cream, lilac. The height of the peduncle is 12-40 cm, the smallest of hyacinths are centellas, no more than 12-14 cm high. Centella varieties are Lady Derby, City of Harlem, Jan Boss. Other early flowering varieties of hyacinths are Amethyst, Anna Marie, Ostara, Bismarck, Lord Baflour, Pink Pearl, La Victoire, Delft Blue, Carnegie, Innosance.

Did you know? Hyacinths of various shades look great with the same height in the center and shorter ones along the edge, planted in a circle or in a round open flowerpot - they look like a multi-colored curly hat.

Primrose is a perennial rhizomatous primrose with a bright three- and four-color color, belonging to the Primrose family and numbering more than 480 species. This is a flower up to 30 cm high with a basal rosette of green wrinkled rounded leaves and a strong peduncle, with flowers collected in an inflorescence or single flowers. Petal color – blue-yellow, white-yellow, lilac-yellow-white, yellow-pink with white, red-yellow, lemon-yellowish-orange, yellow-beige-orange, pink-purple-yellow, crimson-orange with yellow and etc.
IN natural environment grows in Asia, Europe, America, mainly in the mountains or on flat areas with a humid climate. In our country, primrose is bred everywhere; the flower is unpretentious, cold-resistant, with excellent survival rate and rapid reproduction. In addition to its beauty, primrose is good for its early, friendly, abundant and long flowering. Blooms for 4-4.5 weeks. Some primroses also bloom again in the fall, and the decorative foliage of faded flowers remains throughout spring and summer. Primrose is combined with all primroses, herbs, shrubs and is used to create combinatorial complex compositions on lawns, alpine slides, ridges, flowerpots, for edging flower beds, and borders.

And primroses of various varieties and colors planted together in a chaotic manner form a picturesque, multi-colored, bright carpet that can decorate any corner of the site. The earliest flowering primroses are large-cup primrose, Voronova primrose, spring primrose, Julia primrose, stemless, serrated, auricula (eared primrose).

This little flower with an affectionate Russian name is correctly called bulbocodium and belongs to the Liliaceae family. Its homeland is Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean. Brandushka is a herbaceous flowering plant up to 8 cm high with a delicate, elongated bell-shaped single flower on a corm (has no stem). Inflorescences are pink or pinkish-lilac. The leaves are green with a slight blue tint, linear, collected in a bunch around the inflorescence.
Brandushka fully justifies such “affection” in its name - small, cute, with thin translucent petals of delicate shades and at the same time a real primrose - frost-resistant, undemanding and unpretentious in care. Blooms for 3 weeks. Types of brandushka for our gardens are bulbocodium versicolor (it has white buds, and the blossoming inflorescence is lilac-pink) and spring bulbocodium. Bulbocodiums are very decorative, combined with all early spring vegetation, often used for alpine slides, rocky gardens, borders and multi-level garden compositions.

Or our adapted name anemone. This is a perennial herbaceous tall (up to 75 cm) primrose of the Ranunculaceae family. More than 45 species of anemone are found in Russia and the CIS countries; in total, almost 150 of them are known. Under natural conditions, the anemone is common in North America, Asia, Eastern and Southern Europe, the Caucasus, Far East. Anemone has large cup-shaped flowers, solitary or collected in an inflorescence. The leaves themselves are incredibly decorative - carved, openwork, rich green in color (sometimes brown or purple below), gathered at the base into a bush on which the flowers seem to lie. Inflorescences of different colors - lilac, blue, light blue, white-pink, pink-yellow, lilac with pink, red, white-lilac-violet, red-black-white, etc. Depending on the type of petals, there are double and simple.

Important! The juice of these flowers is highly irritating to the skin and causes an allergic reaction. Be careful when working in the garden - do not pick flowers or wear gloves.

Early types of anemone - Lyutichnaya, Nezhnaya, Dubravnaya, Lesnaya. In general, anemone is a stunningly decorative flower that never gets boring, and some of its species can bloom all spring and summer until the beginning of autumn. Suitable for rock gardens, rocky slides, mixborders.

Vesenniki, or erantis, are spring yellow flowers, the name of which is literally translated from Greek - “spring flowers”. Erantis is a perennial herbaceous low-growing (up to 15 cm tall) primrose of the Ranunculaceae family. Their homeland is the Far East, Siberia, Asia, they are found in the natural environment in the South and Eastern Europe.
The spring flower has a low stem with a spherical six-petalled inflorescence surrounded, like a frill, by short, strongly or weakly divided leaves at the ends. Over time, the foliage bends in an arc and sags downwards.

How impatiently we all look forward to spring. How we rejoice at the first warm rays of the sun, the first thawed patches and streams. But the first spring flowers are especially delightful. The appearance of these small but bold harbingers of spring indicates that spring has finally and irrevocably come.

1. Galanthus or snowdrop (Galanthus)

2. Hellebore (Helleborus)

The name speaks for itself. Hellebore blooms in the cold. In its native places (in Transcaucasia) it blooms in winter (late February). Thanks to legend, hellebore is sometimes called the “rose of Christ.” It was first found near the stable where Christ was born, and since then, as if in memory of this event, hellebore blooms in the south in winter.

3. Crocus or saffron (Crocus)

Crocuses are the favorite flowers of gardeners and city landscapers. The crocuses are blooming, which means spring has come. The ancient Greeks considered the crocus the flower of the goddess of dawn Aurora, the flower of awakening nature. Exists beautiful legend. One spring day, love happened between the god Zeus and Hera on the river bank. The warmth of their passion awakened the earth, and the clearing was covered with beautiful white and purple crocus flowers. “Closing your eyes, imagine noble saffron, and then you will see everything: the noble blue of the sky, the mysterious yellow moon, the pink dawn and lilac-red twilight,” this is what they said about crocuses in the Ancient East.

4. Scilla or Scilla

As soon as the snow melts, blue flowers of woodlands appear, which many incorrectly, although deservedly, call “snowdrops.” Most species of woodleaf have bright blue flowers. The clearings of flowering plants in the garden resemble lakes that reflect the clear spring sky.

5. Lungwort (Pulmonaria)

In the inflorescences of this primrose you can see both pink and dark blue flowers.

There is a legend that the dark blue flowers of lungwort are the flowers of Adam, the first man. And the pink ones are the flowers of Eve, the first woman. Two different colors of flowers on one plant symbolize the unity of opposites.

However, even with scientific point This is easily explained. Anthocyanins, plant pigments in plant cells responsible for the color of petals, change color depending on the acidity of the cell sap. As the acidity of the cell sap decreases, anthocyanins turn blue, and with an increase in acidity they turn pink. Newly bloomed flowers have high acidity of cell sap, which is why they are pink. And as the flowers age, the acidity of their juice decreases, so the anthocyanins gradually turn blue.

6. Narcissus

The name of this flower comes from Greek word"narkao" - to stupefy, to stun, which is probably due to its strong aroma. Many legends are associated with the beautiful daffodil. The Greeks consider it a symbol of cold beauty, narcissism, vanity and selfishness. This is connected with the story of the handsome young man Narcissus and the nymph Echo, who is unrequitedly in love with him. Narcissus, as punishment for neglecting Echo's love, was condemned to love his reflection. According to legend, a narcissus flower grew where the beautiful Greek youth Narcissus, who fell in love with his reflection in the water, died of self-love. In Ancient Persia, poets compared the eyes of their lovers to narcissus flowers. The ancient Romans greeted the victors of battles with yellow daffodils. And now the daffodil is the most beloved flower of the British, to which even the rose is second in popularity in Great Britain.

7. Violet or viola (Viola)

Violet is the favorite flower of many different peoples. Poems and legends are written about her. She is considered a symbol of tenderness, modesty and innocence. There are more than 450 species of violets, distributed throughout the globe. The earliest of them bloom as soon as the snow melts: Altai, fragrant, hooded, marsh, amazing, tricolor, hill, bringing us joy and spring mood.

8. Anemone or anemone

Anemone or anemone is considered one of the first heralds of spring. After all, many types of anemone, including oak and buttercup, are early spring-flowering plants. And the oak anemone is often called “snowdrop” for its early flowering and the snow-white color of its flower. As soon as the snow melts and the buds of the trees begin to swell, this lovely delicate flower covers the space under the forest canopy with a continuous white carpet. The most delicate petals sway from the slightest breath of wind, which is where the name “anemone” comes from.

9. Corydalis (Corydalis)

There are about 320 species of corydalis in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. These are one of the earliest spring flowers, pleasing to the eye after a long winter. Corydalis growth usually begins under the snow, in March. And in April, very cute tassel inflorescences appear. In the forest in early spring, the lilac islands of corydalis very beautifully dilute the white seas of oak anemone.

10. Marigold (Caltha)

In the forest, not all the snow has melted yet, but along the roadsides in the lowlands, where the melt water flows, bright yellow marsh marigolds are already blooming. It is impossible not to notice these sunny yellow bouquets framed by varnish-shiny leaves against the backdrop of the bare spring earth around. Marsh marigold is indispensable when creating gardens in a landscape style. There are very beautiful garden forms with double flowers of pale yellow and white colors.

11. Liverwort (Hepatica)

People call the liverwort “copperwood” because it does not like open places and grows only in the forest. Blooming liverworts look very elegant; it is impossible to pass by the bright blue lush bouquets. After a long winter, it is especially pleasant to find a bush of flowering liverworts in the forest and saturate your eyes with their touching beauty.

Kandyk, or dog's tooth, is an original early spring bulbous plant of the lily family. The Greek name is erythronium, which comes from the word “erythros”, which means “red”, and apparently this was the color of the first plants found. There are 25 known species of erythronium. Habitat - in open areas of cool, light, moist forests of the temperate and subtropical zones of the Northern Hemisphere, some species are found in alpine meadows and mountain tundras. Most species grow in North America. Kandyk is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, frost resistance and high decorative compatibility with other bulbous flowers.

Narcissiflora Anemone - Anemone narcissiflora Inhabits high mountain meadows, often on limestone, in Colorado, north-central Wyoming, Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Also found in central and southern Europe. The basal leaves are deeply dissected with pubescent stems up to 10-40 cm tall. The whitish to lemon yellow flowers appear from early June to mid-August, sometimes turning bright pink on the outside. The flowers have yellow stamens and can be solitary or in numbers from 3 to 8. The fruit is smooth, round with smooth black seeds.

Primula pruhoniciana - Primula x pruhoniciana hort. Variety Betty Greene Primula pruhoniciana - Рrimula x pruhoniciana hort. This name combines a group of varieties distinguished by early and very abundant flowering, rounded shiny leaves, which in some varieties have a brownish tint. Often these varieties and hybrids are classified as Juliae Hybrids. They bloom in March–April. The best varieties: Betty Greene - velvet-carmine flowers, Blue Rihaub - bluish-violet, Flens-burg - light yellow leaves in spring and very large pink-carmine flowers, Snow Blossom - soft cream flowers, etc.

Seedlings are planted in separate pots and planted permanently in June.
place. Shoots can be propagated in June-August. Suitable for growing on gravel scree, in flower stone walls, in dry and sunny places, in mini rock gardens. It is winter-hardy without shelter, but does not tolerate stagnation of water in the soil. Tolerates light partial shade, but loves sun.

LAMP, or DREAM-GRASS (PULSATILLA) fam. Ranunculaceae Almost all lumbago look organically in landscaped gardens, in group plantings along the edges of pine and larch forests and forested areas, on open lawns. It is promising to grow them on alpine hills and in rocky gardens. Adult lumbagos do not tolerate transplantation. Perhaps at least this consideration will keep you from wanting to dig up a wild specimen. Not to mention the fact that replanting lumbago from natural habitats is strictly prohibited.

Noble liverwort - Hepatica nobilis Mill. = Anemone hepatica Homeland - the European part of Russia, Western Europe, grows wild in the deciduous forests of the Moscow region. It grows in the forest zone in forests of various composition: broad-leaved, small-leaved, coniferous, mixed (spruce-broadleaf and spruce-birch). The primary habitat of the liverwort is considered to be broad-leaved forests. This is a non-moral Eurasian species. The plant has a fairly wide ecological amplitude, can withstand significant shading, but can also grow in completely open places, prefers moderate moisture, avoiding damp and excessively moist places. It is little demanding in relation to soil, but prefers places rich in lime, with well-developed litter. Most often grows on soils with slightly acidic or neutral reaction. undersized perennial up to 15 cm tall. Leaves are basal on long petioles, broadly triangular, three-lobed, leathery, glabrous or pubescent, dark green, young reddish-violet, obtuse or slightly pointed, overwintering under snow. The flowers are solitary, 2-3 cm or more in diameter, with 3-4 calyx-shaped bracts, on long leafless, pubescent peduncles. The tepals are bluish-purple, less often pink or white. It blooms simultaneously with the unfolding of leaves, in early spring for 20 days. Simultaneously with the appearance of flowers, old leaves gradually die off and are replaced by growing new ones. The fruit is a multi-nut with an appendage rich in oil. The liverwort reproduces primarily by seeds. Seed production from 20 to 64 seeds per shoot. After flowering, the pedicels lengthen and the flowers bend to the ground; the fruits are carried away by ants eating the succulent appendage. In natural habitats, seeds can germinate in the fall. In spring, oval green cotyledons up to 10 mm long develop, with a small notch at the top. The first true leaf appears in the growing season following germination. Its plate is dark green, three-lobed, covered with long silky hairs, like a long reddish petiole. The liverwort blooms in different habitats in the 4th to 7th year, in culture - in the 3rd year. Under natural conditions, one adult plant can have 5-12 flowers, in culture - up to 150. Pollination occurs with the help of beetles and butterflies that eat pollen, since there is no nectar in flowers. Liverwort is one of the early flowering plants in our forests; it blooms in April - early May, before new leaves appear. Flowering lasts 3-4 weeks, fruit ripening - 1-1.5 months. Generative organs are formed a year before flowering. By the first half of August, all parts of the flower in the bud are fully formed (tepals, anthers on threads, pistils are noticeable). In October, flowering shoots reach 1 cm in length. In culture since 1440. Has many forms. The most interesting are double ones, with dark blue and pink flowers. rich shade. These plants are characterized by a special splendor of flowering.

TURKESTAN PRIMFLOWER

The liverwort blooms in April, simultaneously with the very first spring flowers - coltsfoot, snowdrop galanthus, wolf's bast. Each of the spring primroses has its own tricks that allow them to start flowering in the spring without delay. The liverwort has at least two such tricks. On the one hand, thanks to the leaves that overwinter in a green state, it has the opportunity to take advantage of the very first rays of the sun. On the other hand, in nature she chooses places where there is a lot of sun before the trees unfurl their leaves. The roots of the plant, I note, lie shallow, in a quickly warmed layer of soil, which is also important.
What seems strange at first glance is that the flowers of the coppice bloom all at once, and not one by one, as many other plants do, and fade very quickly. The explanation for this is simple. The plant is in a hurry to bear fruit faster and throw seeds onto the still damp and bare soil. This way they have a better chance of germinating, which guarantees the flower's survival. It is curious that the erect peduncles of the liverwort lie on the ground after setting fruit. Immediately after flowering, the overwintered leaves of the liverwort wither, but to replace them, by mid-May, new ones grow - shiny, leathery.

Thank you for the photo and description

Perennial flowers in the garden have clear advantages over annual flowers: you don’t need to plant them every year, they are highly decorative and, finally, by choosing the right plants, you can achieve not only perfection color range, but also constant flowering in your garden from early spring to late autumn.

When composing a flower arrangement, in addition to the timing of flowering, you also need to take into account the size of the plants, the structure and color of their inflorescences.

Did you know? Perennial garden flowers are distinguished by height - low-growing (up to 50 cm), medium-growing (50 - 80 cm) and tall (from 80 cm and above); by type of roots - tuberous, rhizomatous, bulbous, corm.

Perennials blooming in spring

Spring flowers in the country are low-growing ornamental plants; they bloom with small flowers (they often have pastel shades). The timing and duration of flowering strongly depend on weather conditions (early or late spring, warm or cold weather).

Adonis (lat. Adonis) - has about 45 species of annual and perennial plants. Actively used in park and garden art since the 17th century. Blooms in the second half of spring. Stems simple or branched. The inflorescence is a simple basket. The flowers are bright yellow (sometimes red) with glossy petals, solitary (up to 8 outer tepals).

A winter-hardy plant, it grows well in open, illuminated places (light shade is allowed). The preferred soil is light, moist, with organic matter and lime. Adonis really does not like transplants (if necessary, transplant with a clod of earth).

Adonis perennials are most often found in culture:

• downy adonis (A. villosa)- blooms in May, has pubescent stems, reaches a height of up to 30 cm;
• spring adonis (A. vernalis) or adonis- blooms in late April - early May, the only medicinal type of Adonis (often used as a component of heart medications);
• Adonis Amur (A. Amurensis)- characterized by early flowering, bare stems, leaves with long petioles. Japanese breeders have created several hybrids (hinomoto - orange shades, benten - white petals, ramosa - brown with red, etc.).

Important! Adonis is listed in the Red Book and is protected by law. Adonis roots are poisonous (should be taken into account when independent use in treatment). Toxicity protects the plant from pests.

Hyacinth

Eastern hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis) served as the basis for more than 400 decorative varieties hacinths.

Hyacinths are bulbous; after flowering the green stem dries out. Flowers on a thin peduncle are collected in the form of a brush. They are simple, double and multi-flowered.

Hyacinths prefer illuminated, flat (with a slight slope), protected from the wind areas, with light fertile soils. Level groundwater- at least 50 cm. Although in open ground hyacinths are practically not susceptible to pests and diseases, care must be constant (loosen the soil 2-3 times, 3 times, before flowering, during the formation of buds and after flowering - add fertilizer, periodically water ).
Simple hyacinths vary in color and are divided into 6 groups:

• white(“Argentina”, “Carnegie”, “Linnosance”, etc.);
• pink(“Pink Pearl”, “Fondant”, “Anna Marie”, etc.);
• red(“General Pelissier”, “La Victoire”, etc.);
• blue(“Myosotis”, “Maria”, “King Lake Blues”, etc.);
• lilac/violet(“Amethyst”, “Bismarck”, “Lord Balfour”);
• yellow/orange(“Yellow Hammer”, “Orange Bowen”).

Did you know? The selection of the only black hyacinth variety, Midnight Mystique, lasted more than 16 years. The new variety was first introduced in 2005 by Thompson Morgan.

Among the terry hyacinths, the most famous are “Prince Arthur”, “Madame Sophie”, “Grootvorst”, “Edison”, “Sun Flower”, etc.; from multi-flowered ones - “Pink Pink Festival”, “White White Festival”, “Blue Blue Festival”).

Crocus

Crocuses (Crocus) are low-growing perennials, blooming in spring and autumn (varieties of the saffron crocus and beautiful crocus species), corms (about 80 species), with basal leaves. Spring crocus (C. Vernus) is one of the progenitors of cultivated varieties. Since the end of the 19th century, more than 50 ornamental varieties have been bred. These plants are good honey plants. They bloom in March-April. Crocus has been known to mankind for thousands of years, because it is from it that the most expensive seasoning, saffron, is obtained.
Crocuses love a lot of sun and light, fertile soil. The plant is not afraid of wind. It looks most decorative in groups of several dozen to hundreds of flowers.

Important! Until the crocus leaves completely wither, they cannot be cut (or mowed), since thanks to them the roots accumulate nutrients for the next season.

Among the most popular varieties are the lilac-white “Vangard”, purple “Purpureus grandiflorus”, pale lilac “Ruby Giant”, yellow “Queen of the Blues”, white “Joan of Arc”, etc.

Narcissus (Narcissus) - from the Greek “narke” - “intoxicating smell”. A bulbous plant of the Amaryllis family, which includes more than 40 species, hundreds of varieties and hybrids.

All daffodils have straight stalks without leaves, large erect (drooping) one- or two-color flowers. Leaves are thin basal. They bloom in March-April.


Did you know? The Persians were the first to cultivate daffodils. In Persian poetry, the narcissus personified the eyes of a beloved. In ancient Greek mythology, there is a myth about the origin of the flower - the young man Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection and died of unrequited love. At the place of his death, beautiful flowers of death bloomed. Daffodils in ancient Rome the winners were awarded.

Kandyk is low, up to 15 centimeters in height, with dark green spotted leaves and lilac-pink flowers reminiscent of cyclamen. Kandyk loves humus, moist soil and partial shade. Propagated in June by dividing the bulbs after 3 - 4 years. At the same time, it is not recommended to dry the bulbs - they should be immediately planted to a depth of 6 centimeters.

Brandushka, like scilla, is a primrose flower. But, unlike scilla, it is found much less frequently in our areas. Blooms in March - April. It mercilessly bursts out onto spring bouquets, which is why it is preserved only in secluded places. The flower has a delightful pale pink color. This is a perennial plant; grows from a bulb, like most primroses. People also call these flowers orphans: they shine lonely among the withered grass. There is a legend that gave rise to this name. The evil stepmother had two beautiful daughters, beautiful and pretty. But their stepmother disliked them, planned to destroy them and kicked them out of the house at the end of winter into the cold. Orphans stand on the slope, dying from the cold, mourning their orphaned lot. So their stepmother would have destroyed them, but Spring came, and with it the warm Sun. They warmed up and nourished the orphans with maternal affection and warmth. And they bloomed with magical spring flowers. Since that time, as a symbol of the victory of good over evil, orphan flowers appear in the spring
