Crocus flower
Filed Under Crocus, Spring Flower Bulb, Spring flowers | Leave a Comment
It feels like summer here, so I am ready to dig into my spring bulb pictures which I didn’t publish yet and start uploading them on pictures of tulips… So here comes for some other spring flowers!
Crocus flowers
Most crocus flowers are very early spring flower bulbs, sometimes you can even find a crocus in the snow 
Normally a crocus will bloom long before Easter.
The grass like crocus leaves show a typical white line all along the center of the leaf. These days you can still get crocus flowers at your local florist, although I do prefer them in my garden before other plants start growing: let nature run its course
The most common crocus is the Crocus sativus producing saffron! Unlike the "normal" crocus, saffron blooms in autumn. Now don’t start eating your spring crocuses at home nor in your garden, as they are poisonous!

Allium Flower
Filed Under Allium, Allium Flower | 1 Comment
Better known as flowers of the onion. Ok, if you take the onion you find in your kitchen and put it in the ground, it will give you a big yet green-white flower.
Allium Giganteum
Allium Giganteum opening its flowers
From all the onion or allium flowers, I prefer Allium Giganteum. It’s the highest of all alliums: the flower can stand 1.5m or 5 feet above ground!
Allium Giganteum is also the latest flowering bulb of all spring flower bulbs. Normally it starts blooming in July, and just before the flowers open (see Allium Giganteum picture above) they are already very decorative.

Lily of the valley flowers
Filed Under Lily of the valley | Leave a Comment
Do you enjoy lily of the valley flowers in your garden?
I hope you do because they are so easy to grow: "plant once and forget about it…" In my garden they are growing on a "forgotten" shady spot next to a wall and underneath some bushes.
But what the above picture doesn’t show is the lily of the valley fragrance I love oh so much!
Once you have an abundance of lilies of the valley, cutting them and putting them in a small vase really lighten ups your house. I have been doing this since I was a little child and I keep on doing this year after year.
Just know that this plant is poisonous, so make sure nobody drinks the water from your lily of the valley flowers vase.
