Early Spring Garden Pictures

With warmer temperatures and more sun, the garden is changing every day.
Chinese rhubarb. Its first leaves are beautiful:


It grew well in the container last season. 


Clematis montana got a haircut:





Japanese maples are awakening:


Anemone:



Another arch with Clematis montana. It receives less sun than the first one and is not as tangled as it.
But, I also gave it a cut.


The third arch supports a climbing rose.
The branches are needed to be placed horizontally to give more blooms:


Narcissus very often get some snow after they start blooming.
This year, instead of snow, they've been hit by hail twice already.



Pussy willow is finishing blooming:






Daphne is blooming for the first time in my garden. It was planted in 2013.






Linchen is a show star before the leaves come on the trees:


Moss enjoys cool moist weather:


Hellebore also likes our climate:



Grape hyacinths bring my favorite color to the garden:



Japanese ilex hedge reached the desired height and needs to be watched and trimmed timely:


Helleborus foetidus:


Camelia growing in the container has lots of blooms:



I hope you enjoy the signs of spring in your garden.

  1. Good morning, Tatyana. You hear this all the time but your photographs are gorgeous! You have a great eye! Your garden is waking up and you've captured the beauty of the season with your lens. Congratulations on the first flowering of your Daphne! I thought of you recently when I visited Lakewold Gardens and remembered your great posts from there.

  5. I'm curious, Tatyana. Did you leave your windmill palm outside during the freezes? It is pictured in the 5th photo from the top. I love that photo, especially the rocks embedded within the garden bed to the right. ... Congrats on the Daphne. It is so incredibly fragrant, isn't it? I'm so glad it's spring.

    1. Grace, the containers with palms are very heavy, so we never move them. Sometimes, I throw blankets around the palm trees' trunks. This winter was pretty mild, and I did nothing. I think those trees are Mediterranean palms.

  6. I haven't been by in way too long. Your garden looks fabulous this spring Tatyana. It looks that way every season I've seen it tho. Your photos are spectacular (also as always.) I am ready for spring after looking at them although it will be a while before my garden is blooming like yours... Hope all is well with you.

  10. It is always a pleasure to see the garden awakening! Your daphne is lovely with its first blooms! As always, your images are delightful. I am happy that my garden is also awakening. My Japanese maples are a pastel wash of color now as their young leaves unfold.

  13. Hi Tatyana, your garden certainly looks springish :-)! I can imagine that there is tons of work to do for you right now in such a big magnificent garden like yours! I really love the daintiness of the blue anemone and you are right, the Chinese rhubarb leaves are incredible pretty. Happy spring to you and your garden!
