Yellow Daffodil Flowers In The Spring Time

Over the years, we planted several hundreds of daffodils bulbs in our yard. We love daffodil flowers because they are so easy to maintain, or they hardly require any maintenance at all. Despite the low maintenance and care-free characteristics of having daffodil flowers, they still give stunning bright colors during the spring time, so its not like you are making any compromise or have to choose between having a pretty colorful yard or not wanting to water all the time. Usually, daffodils bloom around the month of March to April of every year (in the United States). They are easy to grow, easy to plant from bulbs, they grow back year after year, and they tend to multiply more bulb clumps yearly because every single bulb planted undearneath the ground can multiply into a clump of new bulbs, which is then highly recommended that these clumps of bulbs be separated and divided inorder to decrowd the bulbs, inorder to give space for each new bulb a room to grow as its own flower plant. These new young bulbs will also multiply on its own later on, so its best not to plant each bulb too close to each other, to give room for new room for the each new bulbs and let it become its own flower plant.

Nowadays, there are several diffent varieties of daffodils available in the market, different colors, new breeds, etc. The most common ones are the yellow color. If ever you are considering landscaping your yard with high hopes of having some bright colors during the springtime, you might want to consider having daffodils in the plan, you do need to keep in mind that daffodils only blooms around 2-3 months in a year, so that you need to have other types of plants planted with them or nearby that will bloom in other seasons like fall if you want an all year round colors in the same spot of the yard. Daffodils are great to be planted near fencing or borders, and they work extremely well together as a group because they have more visual effect when several daffodils are planted together as a group because they stand out and pop out more visually.

Heavenly Bamboo Nandina

I love to garden a lot, but sometimes i get busy with so many different things thats why i prefer plants that does not require a lot of maintenance but gives out a lot of beauty and character to the yard. One of my favorite plant for landscaping is Heavenly Bamboo Nandina because not only is it almost maintenace free, i like its simplicity and works well in different seasons: summer, spring, winter and fall.

At spring time Heavenly Bamboo Nandina produce a mixture of green and copper-tone colors leaves. At summer time,  they have this nice green foliage. Their leaves have slight similarity to a regular bamboo plant leaf characteristic, somewhat pointy and skinny, but there is definitely a difference in the shape because regular bamboo have longer and skinnier leaves.  Heavenly Bamboo Nandina can be planted best in a sunny location for best results in color transformation of the plants.

During fall season, thats when you see the magic happen. Their leaves transform into this vibrant reddish purple tint and instantly add fall colors in your backyard. If you dont have any trees in your yard that transform into different red colors during fall season, you can definitely rely on Heavenly Bamboo Nandina to give you some vibrant fall display. They also produce this deep red wine berries that adds color to the plant.

So next time, if you are thinking of doing landscaping around your yard and you are considering for an easy to maintain or hardly no maintenance plants, think of Heavenly Bamboo Nandina. All it need is an annual pruning, to shape and keep its shape and keep the plant healthy and last for many years. During first planting, you need to water them regularly inorder for their roots to get established, but once its established and become hardy to the surrounding, it will continually give you different shades leaves throughout the year and is drought tolerant so you dont have to water them every single day anymore!

Red Tulips Flowers Planted Around An Oak Tree

 

Last fall, we planted a bunch of red tulips bulbs in different areas of the yard both front and back yard. It was hardwork being the soil so compact and dry with not much water in the ground left. Digging the holes is not an easy job, but we convince ourselves that all our hardwork is going to be rewarded. Indeed, every single bulb that we planted survive. Since we planted them in groups they stand out more and more noticable. That noticable, some of the peopl in the area complimented on it.

The red tulips stands out really well near the green gass lawn, they pop out like a sore thumb. Having them in group all in the same color, also make each tulip flowers seem larger because its easy to notice them from afar being in the same little area together, it creates bigger visual impact compare to having each of them scattered way far apart in different parts of the yard.

Vibrant Bougainvilla Flowers

Widely popular and abundant in many tropical islands like Hawaii and Asian countries, Bougainvilla flowers do survive in some US states specially areas with sunny and mild climates.

Bougainvilla flower is a favorite among many because of its capability to produce abundant, vibrant and rich color flowers specially red or fuchsia that could easily transform a boring spot in a yard into a gorgeous display of flowers.

Bougainvilla flower plant is a great alternative to add color to certain areas in your yard specially near the fences and corners of your yard. You may buy them as young plant but normally bougainvillas can possibly grow around 4-5 feet tall and wide as well, so it is wise to consider planting them in places where there is space to grow wide and tall and not fight with your other plants.

Bougainvilla plant is not very ideal for all household because of its very thorny stems, more like rose plants. So if you have kids and toddlers that are frequent in areas that you are considering of planting bougainvilla flower plant, it might not be a great idea afterall because the thorns can pose as danger to them.

This beautiful bright yellow tulip with red accent is one of the most unique tulip flower that we have in our yard and definitely one of my absolute favorite.

So if you are looking for tulip blooms next year at springtime, it is almost time to check out the stores for tulip bulbs.

The closer and closer we approach fall season, the more tulip bulbs are readily available for sale in many different stores.

Daffodil Flower Blooms

Late last year, during the fall season, we planted few hundreds of daffodils bulbs all over our yard. We got a great deal of daffodil bulbs at a warehouse store, and it was hard to pass up. This spring time is the first blooms of all the new daffodils that we planted last fall. And they been coming out and blooming like crazy since March, and its already April and we still have plenty of daffodil blooms all around. I should say that all the hardwork and dirty work of digging tiny holes, dropping the bulbs and covering them up with soil were all worthwhile because if we didnt exert all the effort that we did, then we probably dont get to see all the colorful blooms that we now enjoy, and for years to come.


The photo provided above is one of the one that I took from our yard. It is the combo white and yellow one. But the most common daffodil that we have in our yard are the solid bright yellow, which is also very pretty and attractive. The great thing about daffodils is that they are easy to grow and care, hardly any maintenace at all, and the deer dont like them, so even if you plant them outside the fence or gate, the deer usually dont eat them. Although, sometimes deer try to take a bite, but they usually ended up spitting them out.

Spring Delight Crocuses

If you have several different variety of flowers in your yard, you will surely notice that the first few flowers that will come out and bloom after winter time are your crocuses, if you have crocus planted in your yard. Crocuses are definitely early spring bloomers, sometimes they flowers around first week of March, even before the actual spring date!



Crocus flowers come in different color varieties like white, purple, pink, and even multi-colored stripes of purple and white. Crocus flowers comes from bulbs, which you can abundantly buy during fall season. And when planted during the fall season, you can usually expect the Crocuses to flower and bloom at spring time that follow.

Mature crocus flowers only measures around 4 to 5 inches in height, so they are perfect as bed flowers or as borders. If you use crocus in combination with other flower plants to create a garden oasis, it would be best to have the crocus in front or in the outer part of the garden because of their short heights, and you dont want to burry these beautiful blooms.

The great thing about crocus is that they grow back year after year, if the bulbs are properly keep safe and well-mulched to get protected through the winter times. Over time, more and more crocuses will come out in your yard because the bulbs multiply as years pass by.

Gorgeous Sunny Saturday

Today is absolutely beautiful, sunny and comfortable outside, we just had to take advantage of such a great weather, what else could we ask for to start the weekend?

Today is the first time that we finally came out and actually enjoyed our yard again. We pulled out an overnight-thawed pork ribs and grilled them outside in our barbeque grill. While waiting for the meat to cook, I started raking the dead leaves in the gardens to give plants fresh airflow. My hubby were raking the leaves that were all over the lawn area, and later I helped him with that as well. We were able to collect few loads of wheelbarrow full of dead leaves today! The lawn still have some brownish color from being asleep the whole winter, but new growth of greens are starting to appear. All the frozen water that were in our garden pond finally melted, possibly ready to have the filter and fountain back on again.


When the porb ribs were cooked I opened a canned of pork and beans and threw them in the microwave for two minutes, and also prepared quick-fix mashed potato. The grilled pork came out yummy, so perfect with the beans and popato. One of my favorite time in the summer or spring is being able to go out like today, and being able to grill meat or burgers for lunch or dinner while enjoying the weather outside! Usually, we dont do outdoor barbequing during winter because it is too cold and bothersome to be outside, and when it is wet, foggy, or snowy, the last thing that you really want to do is being outside and being exposed in the freezing cold while waiting for the food to cook!

Daisy Is The Friendliest Flower

I personally think that Daisy is one of the friendliest flower, dont you think so too? Daisy is not only very easy to grow but they are also very easy to maintain, if not requires no maintainance at all. It is a perennial flower, which comes back and bloom year after year, if planted in the right location. Daisy works great in a sunny area, for maximum growth performance.


Daisy can be planted mostly using their tiny seeds, all you need is spread the seeds in the area where you want them planted, with the soil cultivated. To avoid the birds and other fowls from eating the seeds, its best to cover the seeds around 1/4 inch of soil. To promote germination, keep the soil moist but not flooded. Once the plant becomes established and grow up with full-grown leaves showing, then you can water once a day or three times a week, just to give them nutrients and encourange them to flower. The great thing about Daisy is that, once their root are established in the ground, they require minimal water and Daisies are quite drought tolerant.

So if you plant early, after the danger of frost, you should be getting blooms during the summer or possibly spring even. And they will surely add beautiful colors to your yard. Daisy comes in different colors and sizes, but the most common ones are the while petals with yellow, and could grow up to around 3-4 feet tall.

Getting Ready For Spring Time

We went to Lowes last night and it hit me that winter is almost over and spring is coming up finally! We roamed around the store, and gone in the featured section of the store are snowblowers and snow shovels, because they all been replaced with yard tractors, lawn mowers and lots of lots of plants. There were plants all over, we even saw a bunch of different types of palms for sale for only around $11 each, but unfortunately when we read the planting instructions, its hardy only up to around 40 degrees fahrenheit, which is so not gonna work in our area, because we could get cold up to 20-30 degrees cold, and we dont really just wanna spend money on plants that wont survive in our climate, we already spent too much on orchids plants before, but so far, we are unlucky because none of the orchids survive in our weather, sigh.


But if you are looking forward to getting plenty of flowers and variety of colorful display this spring time, then its almost time to start planting again, depending largely on your location, most seeds can be planted after the danger of frost for more chances of germination and surviving. But there are plenty of seedlings, flowers in pots, and packet of seeds now widely available in several department stores and home improvement stores (like Lowes and Home Depot). So if you are thinking of planting for spring blooming, then for sure you are gonna have fun checking out all the store with all kinds of different variety of flowers to choose. We are definitely ready for some colorful in our yard again, after months of fall and winter, which dont really have much color but the leaves.

Any plans of planting new plants for spring color? Which type of flowers do you prefer, annuals or perennials?
