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.

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

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.
ReplyDeletePeter, I've never visited Lakewold Gardens so early in spring. It should be very special there!
DeleteI'm happy that you like my photographs! Thank you for your kind words!
Great photos, especially the Hellebores.
ReplyDeleteAlison, they are very photogenic!
DeleteBeautiful colours and leaves and everything !
ReplyDeleteThank you Dani! It's a beautiful time of the year!
DeleteWow, what glorious beauty!!! I just loved seeing those pussy willows, as I've never seen them in that stage before.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring ~ FlowerLady
Lorraine, thank you! Those puffs make me smile!
DeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteGrace, 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.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I'm so glad you stopped by! We were lucky to have a warm winter. I hope your spring will be beautiful!
DeleteThanks for the beautiful tour, Tatyana! I'm so hopeful that spring will actually happen here in the north, too. I'm definitely curious to see which plants survived the brutal winter! Your garden looks glorious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth! It's the end of March... Will you get summer right after the winter?
DeleteLovely as always - especially those anemones. What a gorgeous shade of blue! There's nothing like it in early spring.
ReplyDeleteSarah, thanks!
DeleteSo many little surprises as the garden comes back to life.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Yes, spring has arrived here also. Isn't it glorious?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I'm so glad spring is finally showing her face. You are much farther along than we are but we'll be catching up soon. I love that camellia!
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
