Spring buds!
Not really... Not YET.
I'm not in the habit of forcing bulbs. I always let nature take its course. I like things happening in their due time. And one of the perks of having an enclosed balcony is that my little green pets thrive in the (not so cold) conditions, away from the cats. The Muscari show wonderful narrow leaves, no buds yet. I can't wait for their pretty little violet domes to glow in the morning sun!
As for the narcissus, should I be worried about that they are all about strong foliage and no flowers yet? I'll give it another week or two. After all, it's a miracle that they sprang from last year's remains, isn't it?
And a little treat, just in case nothing else happens with my wonderful bulbs: the iris! It came from the shop and not my personal balcony pots. But hey, nobody's perfect!
Lovely shots...
ReplyDeleteLook inside your narcissus plants, if buds are developing. Not every bulb produce flowers! If not enjoy the green leaves:)
I love the blue Iris shot.

DeleteCiekawie będą wyglądać kwiaty w szklanym pojemniku, a niebieskie irysy są śliczne. Pozdrawiam. *** Will be interesting to look like flowers in a glass container, and blue irises are beautiful. Yours
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, Giga! I found your blog amazing - I'm a follower!
Deletejust delightful; love the second last; the container for the bulbs and being able to view them like that; how beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and for the nice comment, Carole! Again, the glass container also acts as a cat deterrent (cats love to chew on narcissus). Thank you for posting the wonderful Morning Glory pics, it's such a shame that people consider it old fashioned...
DeleteI saw your irises and they look exactly like the ones blooming in our garden right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, Randy! Of course, your iris looks much better :)))
DeleteI hope so, Ewa. I can't wait to see the sunny blooms. Thank you for visiting and for hosting the lovely party!
