Garden Affair : Spring bulbs

      It is the beginning of summer  period and almost spring  blooms have withered off . It was a good year for spring bulbs which I had grown in a variety  for spring show. It was my good fortune that most of them had actually bloomed in springtime garden .

Flower Bulbs

 It is the time for winter season to set in the upcoming days. It will be seen within few days that cold weather will persist for few months until spring breaks bringing riot of colors with blossoms and blooms. It is the perfect time to sow winter Flower bulbs for spring blooms.

It is advisable in our region to sow Flower bulbs for winter season  in October and November  for bloom in spring in the upcoming year.

    These are some of my Favorite Flower bulbs for winter season.

Ranunculus

                                          Ranunculus are one of the most rewarding blooms that can be easily grown through bulbs and seedlings .These claw shaped bulbs should be sown in disinfectant water which can be prepared by mixing any fungicide powder in the water .

Lilium Bulbs                                                                                                                                             

Liliums are one of the most easy to grow Flower bulb and they do not require much care and reward with huge blooms within a short period of time after sowing bulbs.

Anemone Blooms 

Anemone are one of the most attractive  flower bulbs which can be grown for spring blooms.They can be grown easily with only concern about watering up to a certain level.

                                                            

There are many other Flower bulbs for winter - spring sowing like Tulips,Gladiolus,Freesias,Orinthagalum,Sparaxis,Ixia,Mountbrettia and many others.

Before the spring ends

This year is quite unusual for everyone out in the world.Since nature has yet again proved its superiority in  controlling our life. The  year began marking the longest possible winter in my region with spring being on and off with western disturbances altering  the weather pattern every week .But finally heat of summer can be felt with temperature soaring high day by day .

Meanwhile spring flowers are at their end stage of blooming
