A spring storm passed from yesterday night until dawn.
I thought I would scatter the cherry blossoms that had just bloomed, but surprisingly, there were still some left behind.Today in Osaka, it’s 18℃/6℃ and sunny.
The sun was getting stronger and brighter, and I was sweating a little while walking during the day.
The flowers on the balcony are blooming all at once, and I’d like to introduce you to how happy they are.

First of all, the long-awaited tulip “Sunset Tropical” opened this morning.
Our first tulips this year. The combination of black princess clover Dark Debbie'' and white premium viola deejayWhite Imp” is very gorgeous and beautiful.
It turned out better than I expected, so I’m glad I planted it. Very satisfied. Nothing to say!

Next up is Clematis Cartmaniejo, which is blooming for the first time since I bought it last year after it bloomed.
After last year’s extremely hot summer, it withstood the use of no fertilizers or pesticides (?) and bloomed beautifully. I’m looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

The goldfish grass Bronze Dragon has bloomed for the first time since I bought it last fall.
The buds started appearing quite early, but they finally opened this morning. I can’t stand how cute it is. happy!

Three gerberas are blooming all at once, and I think it’s spring after all. I guess it’s nice that it’s warm.

Here are some plants preparing to bud in preparation for spring.
First of all, this is also the long-awaited geranium moonlight “Senbaro”.
It’s been since before last summer that the flower buds have formed, and they didn’t bloom in the fall due to the intense heat, but they have finally begun to bud.
I’m so happy. Thank you very much!

This is a sweet pink pelargonium ‘Grand Passo Plus’ that has been in great condition.
It got too thick in the fall, so I didn’t cut it back, and the roots ended up looking sparse and weird.
I’m definitely going to cut it this year.

The rose “Cocktail” I received cuttings from last year.
The branches are still thin, probably because I haven’t used any fertilizers or pesticides, but they’ve put out buds. It’s small but I’m happy.

The budding Dutch iris “Sapphire Beauty” that I bought as a closeout at the end of March is already starting to grow buds.
I read that they bloom in May and June, but I guess it can’t be helped since the high temperatures in late April continue. But I’m happy. fun.

Lastly, the variegated wild grapes have very cute new buds.
I’m looking forward to cutting it up and arranging it once it grows big. I need to repot it before then.

Before I knew it, the flowers were starting to bloom all at once, and the balcony was buzzing with the vitality (?) of the plants.
Even though it’s all potted flowers, I feel like I’m in a garden, and I feel like I’m satisfied with something, that this is enough.
It’s spring. This is probably the time when there are the most flowers.
I’m grateful to myself for doing everything I wanted to do and for the plants that are blooming, and I want to continue to take care of them.
