With the appearance of the first flowers in our gardens, real spring begins. These gentle, touching creatures, which appear earlier than others, fill the soul of any gardener with joyful awe. I offer a selection of flowers that are the very first to wake up after a winter sleep.
1. Snowdrop (galanthus)
This flower is familiar to everyone since childhood. Who doesn't remember the tale "12 months"? These unpretentious, touching flowers with white bell flowers are among the first to appear in early spring... Snowdrops bloom for about a month, they tolerate temperature changes well and are not afraid of early spring frosts.
2. Proleska (scilla)
The snowdrop is sometimes called the blue snowdrop, because of its external resemblance to the latter, and also because it appears as soon as the snow melts. In fact it is different plants... These blue or blue flowers are also not afraid of spring frosts.
3. Hellebore
The name itself suggests that it blooms in the cold. In the south, hellebore blooms in winter, at the end of February. Its buds and flowers are not afraid of frost or snow.
4. Erantis (springer)
These sunny golden flowers will add mood to a dull spring garden. Erantis also blooms in early spring, in March-April, and is not afraid of frost and snow.
5. Primula (primrose)
There are many varieties of this plant, only a small part of them are grown in culture. Primroses bloom in early spring profusely and for a long time, in some species, repeated autumn flowering is possible.
6. Lungwort
The lungwort blooms in April-May. Grows well on light, well-moisturized soils. After flowering, it forms many multi-colored leaves.
7. Crocus
Bright low crocus flowers also appear along with the first spring warmth. Crocuses do not bloom for long, only 5-7 days, without transplanting in one place they can grow up to 5 years. There are crocus species that bloom in the fall.
8. Periwinkle
The evergreen periwinkle retains its foliage even under snow. As soon as the soil begins to thaw, it forms new shoots, and in April it is covered with soft blue flowers.
9. Adonis or adonis
Bright yellow, like little suns, adonis flowers appear in the very first fine spring days. They prefer well-lit areas and light fertile soil.
Spring cleaver appears immediately after the snow melts. Its cute yellow flowers bloom completely only in the bright sun, that is, in the middle of the day, and close in cloudy weather and at night.
11. Liver
The liverwort is popularly called the copse because she does not like open spaces and only grows in the forest. Its elegant, bright blue lush bouquets are so nice to find in the forest after a long winter.
12. Violet
Fragrant violet - perennial early spring plant... During flowering, the whole district is filled with its aroma. In the south, if a warm, long autumn is issued, the violet can bloom again in October-November. And it happens that its flowering continues throughout the winter.
13. Muscari
Muscari or mouse hyacinth is a perennial bulbous plant. Its tiny bell flowers are collected in racemose inflorescences of blue, blue, purple or white, depending on the species. There are also two-color species of this plant.
14. White flower
The spring white flower blooms in April for 20-30 days. The height of the plant is 20-20 cm. At the ends of its white bell-flowers, green or yellow spots are clearly visible.
15. Chionodoxa
Chionodoxa appears in early spring, it is also called the snow beauty. The leaves of this plant appear simultaneously with the buds. Flowers can be single or collected in small inflorescences. Chionodoxa is white, blue, blue or pink.
16. Pushkinia
Pushkinia is a herbaceous bulbous plant 15-20 cm high. The flowers are collected in racemose inflorescences of white or blue color. It blooms in early spring.
17. Corydalis
Unpretentious frost-resistant plant, blooms in early spring. The corydalis reaches a height of up to 20 cm. After flowering, its ground part dies off, after which the plant is not afraid of any mechanical impact, it does not care for it to trample or dig.
18. Iridodictium (netted iris)
These tiny bulbous irises bloom in April and give off a pleasant aroma. They reach a height of 10 cm. They grow well in sunny areas, but they also tolerate a little shading.
19. Kaluzhnitsa
Kaluzhnitsa is very similar to the peel, but these plants still have differences. Foliage persists until October, this is the main difference between them. Prefers well-moistened marshy soils.
20. Anemone or anemone
This plant is called anemone because the petals of most species fall off easily in the wind. Depending on the species, anemones can bloom in early spring, summer or fall.
21. Hyacinth
Hyacinth can rightfully be considered a favorite of the spring garden for its spectacular blossoms and stunning heady aroma. These plants begin to bloom in April and delight with a rich palette of shades of white, blue, orange, yellow and pink flowers.
22. Hyacintoides
Another early spring plant. Outwardly, this plant resembles a spit, but has larger and elongated flowers. There are white, blue and pink plants. Blooms for a long time, up to three weeks
23. Bulbokodium (brandy)
This is a very beautiful stemless multiflorum, forms 2-4 flowers surrounded by leaves. It blooms for two weeks, spreading a delightful aroma around itself.
24. Brunner (forget-me-not)
Herbaceous perennial up to 40 cm high. This unpretentious frost-resistant plant grows well in shady corners of the garden. Flowers are small, collected in apical inflorescences. Blooms in May.

Wild varieties of tulips, unlike their cultivated counterparts, bloom much earlier, already in April. In total, there are more than 100 species of this plant.
26. Narcissus
it perennial with a huge variety of varieties and hybrid forms. Blooms from March to June, depending on the species.
27. Grouse
Perennial bulbous plant with large flowers. It blooms in early spring. The hazel grouse got its name for the similarity of the color of flowers with the feathers of the bird of the same name. The most popular are the hazel grouse and the imperial hazel grouse.
28. Poultry poultry
Bulbous perennial ephemeroid that blooms simultaneously with groves and snowdrops. White, star-shaped flowers are collected in racemose or corymbose apical inflorescences.
To everyone who dropped by, have a wonderful spring day and a sunny mood!
There are a lot of primroses in our area. Most of them became the gardeners' favorites. But only a small list adorns almost every garden in our country. And this is no coincidence, because they are the best of the best, time-tested and our ... laziness. Alas, alas ... Most flowers require care, and there is not always enough time for this.
Therefore, only the most unpretentious remained on the sites. Many of themare bulbous, and therefore they winter well, and are the very first to start growing, and look impressive due to the formation of beautiful clumps.
We have decided which primroses are the most "convenient" in the garden. The next issue is their disembarkation.
HOW TO PLANT PRIMARY FLOWERS BEAUTIFULLY
The method of planting also depends on the height of the plants and the method of their reproduction. Now we are not talking about how to plant a plant in the ground (more on that later), we are talking about the most optimal and beautiful design garden with each specific species.
Fragrant violetrather quickly spreads over the surface of the earth in a thick carpet.
She loves moisture and thanks for right choice places with two flowering times - in early spring and autumn.
Grouse chess and white bloom earlier than their "noble" brothers.
Thanks to active self-seeding, your garden meadow will one day be covered with such overturned glasses.
Considering that the hazel grouse multiplies by dividing the bulbs, a rather dense curtain can grow from one.
This is a bulbous primrose, which, like all of this category of plants, after flowering, loses its decorative effect.
Three types are popular in gardening: black, oriental and, sorry, smelly. On their basis, a lot of varieties have been created, including terry ones. And what are the colors!
In order for the hellebore to delight you with a beautiful flowering, be sure to plant it in a light shade, for example, under a bush.
And try not to replant it for about 10 years. During this time, a rather large curtain will develop, which will become the most important decoration of the still snow-covered yard, but already ready to meet spring.
Caution, poisonous!
Dream herb, lumbago, and in my Siberian childhood he was called a snowdrop. How beautiful these velvety flowers are against the background of withered grass ... And how big they are for their growth!
For some reason, I thought that this flower is only one color - lavender. But in reality color palette lumbago is much richer: white, purple, pink ...
In nature, it grows on dry edges of pine forests. It spreads easily by self-sowing, therefore it forms quite extensive flowering meadows.
Lumbago juice can be irritating!
It is beautiful in any corner of the garden, but it looks especially advantageous next to the stone texture.
Galanthusrather unremarkable white flower. Therefore, in a single version it looks more than modest.
But after a few years, thanks to the division of the bulbs, it forms a neat curtain. It can be placed near an alpine slide or near a garden path.
But a large number of such curtains can merge into a carpet spread at the foot of the garden.
Slickblooms simultaneously with galanthus. This flower naturally grows in the forest, therefore it is better to choose a place for it among shrubs and trees.
The clumps of the forest cover are rather loose. The flowers are even smaller than those of snowdrops. Therefore, woodlands look most advantageous in a large company of their own kind, collected in a small area and, preferably, against the background of coniferous bushes.
Marsh marigold, although it is called specifically, in fact it can grow both in shallow water and simply in places with high humidity.
In the garden she is given a place in the shade deciduous trees... After all, the plant needs light for flowering, and you cannot find it under the conifers in the spring.
In summer, in the shade of trees, the ground remains moist and the marigold, in comfortable conditions for it, spreads over the garden with a green carpet.
Caution, poisonous!
Crocusesfill a large space somewhat faster than galanthus. But they have one peculiarity. Flowers of different shades planted in one place (and they are white, yellow, purple, lavender, blue with white veins) will eventually become pollinated and one population will displace all the others.
Therefore, I recommend immediately planting only one type of crocuses in one place, and placing others at a sufficient distance. Crocuses love the sun and open up towards the heavenly body with bright stars. In partial shade, the flowers will be only slightly half-open.
It quickly forms clumps and is good on an alpine slide, in rutaria, as a curb plant, and over the years it can grow in a solid carpetpiercing blue.
It can be safely planted in a spring mixborder, thanks to its color, the bright curtain will not be lost against the background of other plants.
This flower loves the sun, but can tolerate light shading.
Hyacinth, regardless of the variety, has one flowering period (plus or minus a week). The inflorescences of broadleaf hyacinth, found in nature, are rather modest, and garden varieties are captivating with their splendor.
Do not chase super-decorative varieties - not all of them are able to survive more than one season, since they were bred specifically for spring forcing in pots. All hyacinths are good both in small uniform flower beds and in spring mixborders.
Yellow early daffodil
has, perhaps, the smallest inflorescences among relatives. But it blooms before everyone else, but it looks elegant and refined. This moderately modest species flower gives a sunny and bright mood. Exactly what you need in a spring flower bed.
By the way, it is better to plant daffodils in a special way: in large families, which periodically alternate against the background of the lawn. Only one variety and no competitors nearby.
Iris netat a low height (only 15 cm) it can surprise you with the beauty of the flower and its bright color (bright blue, dark purple, purple, vitamin yellow).
This iris is not like everyone else, it is bulbous, blooms in the first warm month of the year and can be lost against the background of larger primroses. Therefore, a modest and low-growing fragrant violet, a creeping juniper, a green boxwood background, white galanthus curtains planted a little further away are chosen to join him.
They are able to delight you with flowering from early spring to the end of May. No, it's not about long flowering, but about the variety of species.
The right combination of varieties can provide your garden with uninterrupted flowering. At the same time, it will be possible to opt only for tulips. After all, they look simply luxurious against the background of a lawn awakening from hibernation.
The tulip is perhaps the only one of the primroses that requires care, because it should be dug out at least once every three to four years, otherwise it will simply "be transferred". However, there are varieties that are not threatened by this trouble. They are actively spreading by self-seeding, although they are not so luxurious.
If you want to create an unpretentious spring meadow in the garden, then plant a Turkestan and late tulip on it.
PRIMARY FLOWER MIXES
Perhaps no other plants cause as much emotion as. Spring teases with the first truly warm rays of the sun, the first thawed patches and timid streams, but it is the primroses that have appeared, these very small but very bold plants that speak of the final arrival of spring.
Perhaps primroses do not please with the special richness of colors or the duration of flowering, but almost all of them are very undemanding to care for. It is important only in the fall to find the right place for them to plant. Primroses (both bulbous and rhizome) prefer places with good lighting and moist soil, but without stagnant water. If bulbous primroses, so that they please with flowering in spring, must be planted in autumn (exception - hyacinths and crocuses), then hellebore or lungwort can be planted in spring.
Advice! Primrose plants must be planted in company with perennials, which will replace them after flowering.
Let's take a closer look at which flowers will be the first to fill the garden with flowering after hibernation.
Snowdrop, like other small-bulbous species, is not picky about the soil, but prefers loose, moist, nutritious soil, well-drained, with stagnant water, the bulb dies. The best place for planting is under trees, under bushes, which do not create a thick shade in early spring.
Advice! Watering will be required only if the winter was little snow, and the spring is very dry.
Snowdrop is an ephemeroid, the aerial part of the plant dies off after a short vegetative period. They reproduce - by baby bulbs, the best period for transplanting is July-September.
Another flowers that many associate with spring, although they are considered to be forest dwellers, where flowering woodlands form sky-blue lakes in the glades. But these spring primroses will find their place in the garden - in rockeries, alpine slides. Will look great blue streams on the lawn, among the still bare bushes and trees.
The most famous in our country is Siberian scrub - it blooms at the end of March, it is easy to recognize by its piercing blue bell-shaped flowers. But varietal species are much more diverse - they can be white, blue, purple and even pale pink.
Pleski are bulbous perennials, non-capricious and independent plants, the best place for which there will be a canopy of an orchard, with loose and sufficiently fertile soil. They reproduce well both by self-seeding and by dividing the bulbs, they can comfortably grow for decades in the same place. They are winter-hardy enough, but it is better for the winter to cover the place where they grow with an armful of foliage.
Botanical species bloom first (this may even be the end of February), later - in April - numerous crocus hybrids. The best thing crocuses look in a group - this makes their bright colors even more expressive and noticeable. You can both combine different types of crocuses, and combine them with other primroses.
Crocuses look especially expressive against the background of stones, the contrast of delicate flowers and strict boulders looks decorative, which is why these spring flowers are invariably planted in. Crocuses look great on lawn, but it should be borne in mind that it will be possible to start mowing the grass only after the leaves have completely wilted.
Advice! Spring-flowering crocuses are planted in the fall, while they feel equally well both in the sun and in the shade, but in sunny areas the flowering will be more abundant, and the flowers will be brighter. Like other bulbous, they prefer loose and permeable soils; with stagnant water, the bulbs rot.
Leaving is minimal, there is no need to dig up crocuses annually for the winter. Withered flowers are removed so that they do not spoil the beauty of the composition. For the winter, the place of their growth can be mulched with foliage or compost. Crocuses, like other bulbous ones, are propagated by daughter processes-bulbs - having planted one, in 2-3 years their dense nest will appear in this place.
Advice! If you want crocuses to bloom early, plant them in the sunniest place, where the snow will melt first.
These flowers are also called irises-snowdrops, they bloom in early spring, as soon as the snow melts. These are frost-resistant bulbous perennials, although appearance they resemble ordinary irises. They are short, but very attractive and graceful, with bright original colors of flowers (pale blue, violet, blue, blue, purple, red, orange) with a diameter of 5 to 7 cm, with a fancy ornament of spots and stripes on the petals.
On a note! Due to their small (up to 10 cm) growth, they are perfect for rocky gardens, during flowering (March-April) they will be an excellent company for other bulbs. It is better to plant them on the lawn in a group, in a single planting it will be too inconspicuous.
Caring for iridodictium is almost the same as caring for tulips. They love light, well-drained, nutritious soils, but most importantly, they are very sun-loving, this is very important to take into account when choosing a place for planting. For the summer, it is better to dig up the bulbs, the main sign for this is the leaves that have begun to die off. They are planted simultaneously with tulips, in early autumn. The best way reproduction - vegetative, one adult bulb usually gives 1-2 replacement.
Often these are the very first spring flowers that even outstrip frost-resistant snowdrops. Single flowers (yellow, cup-shaped, no more than 3 cm in diameter) sometimes just make their way through the snow, accompanied by graceful bronze-green leaves. Flowering lasts about 2 weeks.

A beauty is walking
Lightly touches the ground,
Goes to the field, to the river,
And on a snowball, and on flower.
What is it? Children: Spring.
Educator: Right guys.
It's a wonderful time of the year, when all nature wakes up after winter, green leaves appear on trees and shrubs and the first spring flowers!
Please answer the following questions.

And something is already growing under the snowdrift. Children: Snowdrop! RIGHT Now listen to the poem:
Put on the post
In the spring itself, stand at attention,
Hands down, in white gloves,
Like a sentry there is a snowdrop
On a frozen leg.
Educator: This amazing flower grows and develops in winter, under a warm snow cover, and at the beginning of spring its light green stem with buds appears from under the snow. In March, under the bright sunbeams, snowdrops blossom when there are no leaves on the trees yet. On rainy cloudy days flowers snowdrops close, and their heads tilt.
Educator: Guys, what do you think is it possible to rip off flowers? Why? (Answers of children)

Lean flowers,
Drop the petals (slopes).
And then they get up again
And still bloom. (children sit at tables) The teacher asks the children to describe the snowdrop (a thin stalk, white and blue oval petals, elongated pale green leaves) Then the children consider the step-by-step Painting Snowdrop Educator After winter, snowdrops are the first to appear from under the snow. Let's draw them. Note that flowers snowdrops are inclined to the ground. Begin paint on a drawing with oval circles, it will snowdrop flower, from it we draw a line down, this will be the stem. Now in detail draw snowdrop petals We draw stem and leaves Now all that remains is to paint the snowdrop. Independent activities of children Finger gymnastics OUR WHITE FLOWERS(HANDS CLOSED IN BUD) Dissolve the petals (disjoin fingers one by one) Are reaching out to the sun (shake closed palms - fingers are protruding like rays of the sun) They rejoice in the spring (spread your arms to the sides - swing from side to side) Independent activities of children
In the end classes children show drawings and tell why they decided draw this particular flower and what new have they learned?

Snowdrop is the first breath of spring. It got its name for the plant's ability to break out of the ground and bloom with the first warm spring rays of the sun, when the snow melts slightly. Translated from Latin meaning "milk flower". Probably, this name reflects the delicate snow-white color of the snowdrop.
There are many legends about snowdrops. One of them says that when God expelled Adam and Eve from Paradise, it was winter on earth and it was snowing. Eve froze and began to cry. She sadly recalled the warm paradise gardens... To comfort her, God turned several snowflakes into snowdrop flowers. So the first flowers on Earth may have been snowdrops.
According to another Russian legend, once the old woman Zima with her companions Frost and Wind decided not to let Spring on the earth. But the brave Snowdrop straightened up, spread the petals and asked for protection from the Sun. The sun noticed the fearless flower, warmed the earth and opened the way for Spring.
Snowdrops
The Snow Maiden was crying,
Seeing off the winter.
She followed her sad
A stranger to everyone in the forest.
Where she walked and cried
Touching birches
Snowdrops have grown -
Snegurochkin
Tears.
