We call this plant "Decembrist" because it begins blooming in the first month of winter. Perhaps this is what makes it so unusual: most flowers delight with buds in the spring or summer, but this beauty remains in bloom practically all winter. It's unusual to see it against a backdrop of snowdrifts. Summer on the windowsill. For some reason, it's... 
I love chrysanthemums. These wonderful flowers bloom in late August and continue to bloom until frost, and they're not afraid of light frosts. But at our dacha in Krasnoyarsk, they don't overwinter in the open ground, so we have to dig them up in the fall and store them in the cellar. I have a lot... 
The first frosts have destroyed the lush blooms in the flowerbeds. The flowers have turned black and wilted, and it's time to completely remove the wilted bushes. Sadly, the vibrant bushes that bloomed yesterday have turned into trash, and the flowerbeds look untidy. I spent the weekend tidying up the flowerbeds. Saturday and Sunday were warm and sunny—a miniature... 
Among the variety of flowers that adorn flowerbeds, I'd like to highlight the undemanding Tatarian aster. The name "aster" conjures up images of an annual plant that blooms in the fall, and children bring bright bouquets of asters to school on September 1st. But there's another kind of aster—the Tatarian or bush aster. These flowers...

Keeled chrysanthemums have blossomed in our garden. Their striped flowers delight the soul and the eye. Like beautiful girls in brightly painted skirts, they sway in the wind. The sun shines for them! Last year (2019), I sowed annual keeled chrysanthemums for the first time. It was a seed mix called... 
In southern Russia, you can often see palms like these in courtyards. This plant, called castor oil plant, is a fast-growing member of the spurge family. It's native to Africa, where it grows up to 10 meters. It looks unusual and very decorative. In our climate, in Russia, the plant can reach... 
Today I'll tell you about another favorite rose, this time a hybrid tea—the Gloria Day variety. This rose has won numerous festivals and exhibitions. Gloria Day is a French rose, bred by Francis Meilland. The bush is about 1.2 m tall, compact, and thornless. But there's a second... 
Lavatera is blooming, captivating with its beauty. A white, pink flower, like a silken petal. It adorns the garden and yard. Its gaze widens to the sky, The little sister of the mallow reaches its eyelashes toward the sun! Lavatera, another beautiful and unpretentious annual, graces yards and garden plots in our Krasnoyarsk city. I, too, am... 
I'd like to tell you about the flowers I planted at my dacha for the first time this year. We live in Krasnoyarsk. We're considered to have a sharply continental climate with very cold winters and hot summers, with large temperature differences between day and night. The construction of the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station has softened the harsh climate. Now the winters...
