Sag nein zu Kirschlorbeer!

Es gibt zahlreiche heimische Arten als Sichtschutz, aber attraktiv zum Nisten sowie mit ausgiebigem Nahrungsangebot in Form von Pollen/Nektar für Insekten und Früchten für Vögel, z.B.

🌳 Eingriffliger Weißdorn (Crataegus monogyna), Rosengewächse
🌳 Gewöhnlicher Schneeball (Viburnum opulus), Moschuskrautgewächse
🌳 Wolliger Schneeball (Viburnum lantana), Moschuskrautgewächse
🌳 Schwarzer Holunder (Sambucus nigra), Schwarzer Holunder
🌳 Kornellkirsche (Cornus mas), Hartriegelgewächse [ohne Foto]

Have spent today whole day in the garden - dividing and re-planting the seedlings of Echinacea and Pulsatilla vulgaris. But would like to show Cornus kousa, which starts to bloom. Have collected the seeds in Switzerland ~ 12 years ago, it started to bloom after 10 years. Was worth to wait. :) #gardening #cornus

Two favourites looking stunning in flower in the garden, a Cornus (unknown variety) and Viburnum 'Kilimanjaro'. #Viburnum #cornus #flower #garden

Some shapes and colours of things I've spotted out and about:

* The flower structure of (I think) a type of leucodendron
* The velvety flower of a NZ bullrush
* The developing seeds of a Dock plant, red and veiny
* The flower of a Himalayan Dogwood

It's my newest #hellebore, a seedling that's flowering for the first time. It's clashing with the cornus behind, but I don't mind.

Trying the classic trick of winter red #cornus stems against dark background here in #bugey #france. Dodgy because it’s so dry here. Only 1100mm rain a year. However wild cornus abound so I thought I’d give it a shot. I planted these last spring and I think it’s working. The #boar keep digging them up though. Sigh. Battle. #Gardening.

Today I have for you the joyous iris reticulata with the stems of cornus alba Sibirica. I took this picture on the 26th of February last year. My big goal with developing the new, "winter" part of the garden is to get this kind of colour early in February, January if I can manage it.
