The group plantings I made last fall are starting to grow thicker as the weather warms up.
I was wondering if I was able to get close to what I had originally envisioned.
It’s still early spring, so it’s not finished yet, but I decided to check it out at the moment.
First of all, here.
When I first planted the viola, I imagined that it would be a vigorous viola.

As planned, it is now growing like a small mountain and is very cute.
What is interesting is that the color of the flowers becomes darker as the weather gets warmer.
The mixture of whitish and dark leftovers from last week’s cold is a sight that can only be seen now.

Ah cute, oh so cute.
I feel like it’s already complete at this point. Yes, 100 points.
Next, here. I liked that it was the only Christmas-like group of plants in my house.
At this time, the garden cyclamen was the most noticeable.
When I look at the photo now, I’m surprised to see that the violas and whitetail daisies are so thick.

Viewed from above.
The white-breasted daisy looks like a snowflake and is cute. I’m really excited.

I think this is also in its completed form.
However, I didn’t expect it to grow so densely, so I think I should have planted it more sparsely.
There was nothing wrong with the plants, but my taste was lacking. I lost 95 points for that, which is enough.
And here.
Since Viola Farmer’s Craft was originally tall, I expected it to grow even more.
I was calculating the contrast with the low plants in the foreground.

The next day, I noticed that the Viola Farmer’s Craft was full of leaves, so I decided to prune it.
After that, I was having a hard time getting any buds, and finally found the first one on New Year’s Day.
Meanwhile, Brachycum brasco continues to grow thickly, and Heuchera continues to shrink.
This is what it looks like now. Thank you.

This is what it looks like from above.
I feel like Brachycum brasco is saying, “It’s a nuisance,” to Karex, which prevents it from flourishing.

I had previously failed in breeding Brachicum Blasco, so I’m very happy that it went well this time.
Viola is also happy, and I can only be grateful.
However, I want to see a place where the heuchera grows thicker, and the viola is also coming soon, so it’s not finished yet.
Yeah, I think it’s 75 points at the moment. With high expectations.
Then, here.
The dot-like leaves of French lavender and the lines of Karex bronze curls,
The mask-like leaves of strawberries that lasted through the summer were my favorite group planting.
On the way, the French lavender on the left that was completely cut off became useless and I pulled it out.
I moved the Karex in front of me to the vacant lot.
This is what it looks like now. The daffodils stand out and give a completely different impression.

The daffodils have bloomed here, but the French lavender has yet to bloom.
I haven’t grown the strawberries or the Ibuki musk so far, so I have 80 points at the moment.
But this is beautiful enough on its own, and is it 100 points? troublesome.
Finally, here. Planted in combination with tulips and snowflakes.

As expected, the viola season has grown very well.

It’s far from complete as the bulbs haven’t grown yet, but the viola looks pretty good.
It’s going to get longer due to the heat, so it would be nice to have a rough finish so the colors blend together.

Hmm, nice.
In anticipation of future growth, we currently have 80 points! I’m looking forward to what’s to come.
If you compare them like this, it becomes clear that they have changed quite a bit.
But, most importantly, everyone is enthusiastic. Spring is still here and we can’t take our eyes off it.
Finally, a bonus. Today’s flowers.
It’s beautiful after all.
