This is the first year when I succeeded keeping flowers alive for long enough to bloom. I do not have as much time as last year to be in the garden, so I decided to cut some flowers and enjoy them at home in a vase.
So far, I got a bouquet of Pfingstrosen. I planted it last spring, but it remained without bloom, but this year it did not disappoint. It was a joy to look at them.
My husband also brought some of the roses. The small, red ones are particularly sturdy. The rose bush is largely unaffected by parasites and the roses in the vase are almost two weeks old and look still fresh. The yellow roses look a bit like English roses, which I only saw in pictures until now.
I planted the ranunculus seeds very late this year (March instead of December) and I was not very hopeful about them. Yet here they are, looking great. As soon as the seedling got some energy, they were very low maintenance. I used some blue beans to protect them from slugs.
I still have some lavandel and summer flowers that did not bloom yet.
