Os crocus plantados no Outono passado começam, agora, a florir. Sinceramente quando os plantei pensei que não iam dar nada, por não ter aqui os invernos frios que normalmente precisam para florir.
Last autumn I decided to try something I had never tried before. To plant crocus. I never really thouhgh they would grow and bloom, since we don't have here in the Algarve such low temperatures as the ones they usualy grow in.
No entanto das três variedades que plantei, duas estão a crescer e a florir bem, Faltam os de flor amarela (a minha esperança era tão pouca que nem me dei ao trabalho de fixar os nomes das variedades)
Nonetheless, out of the three varieties I planted two seem to be doing great and started to bloom this week. No sign of the yellow ones though (my disbelief in them was so much I never even bother to write down the names of the varieties)
Foram plantados junto a tomilhos, oregãos e outras plantas rasteiras e o objectivo final seria que se naturalizassem, propagassem e se espalhassem por todo o canteiro. Veremos se isso acontece...
I planted them among thymes, oreganos and other low and creeping plants, the final goal being that they would naturalize and spread themselves into the entire bed. The future will tell if that will happen...
Caso sejam flores de um ano só, já valeram a pena pela beleza das flores tão pequenas, tão delicadas e tão perfeitas.
Even if they only bloom once it was already worth to see these perfectly beautiful little flowers growing in the garden.
