π Hionodoksa - stars in the spring garden
Spring - a time in the garden, which belongs to the onion! Crocus, tulips, daffodils and fragrant turquoise Scilla Difolia rampage in the flowerbeds. But there is another beautiful bulbous flower - hionodoksa. In the literature I have encountered poetic name "Snow beauty"Which perfectly characterizes the time of flowering and decorative.
Hionodoksa - small plant to 15-25 tall with pinnate leaves. It is easy to recognize by color-stars with 6 thin petals gradient white and blue colors. There are varieties with white and even pink color. "Snow Beauty" is not capricious, tolerates extreme cold without shelter.

We have 10 kinds of hepatica, but in Russia in horticultural crops grown mainly one - hepatica noble. This small plant does not grow above 20 cm. It is growing rapidly, forming dense cushions.
Hepatica blossoms in the garden of one of the first, as soon as the snow melted. Bushes (a tri-lobed leaves of the plant personally, I also really like) covered with blue flowers, often with the departure in purple or blue.
withdrawn hepatica varieties with double blooms (Blue and pink colors) in which the flowers diameter substantially greater than that of natural type, - 2-3 cm. Pink "mahrushki" I had only seen in the picture, and I really liked it. I share with you:
π Hellebore - large size
At its botanical homeland in the Caucasus, hurried hellebore blooms in late winter. In central Russia while the plant is in March and April.
Flower, justifying its name, is tolerant to winter lows of temperature and does not require the shelter. But the young plants with a probability of severe frosts without snow it is recommended for the prevention of shelter spruce branches.
Coloring large flower hellebore is different: white, peach, red, monochrome, two-color or with streaks. The height of the bush varies from 20 to 50 cm. Gardeners say that the best place for planting hellebore - land with scattered sunlight, partial shade or shade. Before purchasing a handsome early-flowering is necessary to consider that its beauty is dangerous: all parts of the plant, alas, are poisonous.
