Everyone can admire the beautiful flower beds, but only gifted people who love their work can create such "masterpieces". Today I want to tell you about a beautiful woman who made her dream come true

By chance, I ended up in this paradise at the invitation of the hostess. From the first minutes of the excursion, the garden fascinated with its well-groomed and harmonious composition of compositions. Here, shady areas smoothly turn into flower beds in the open sun. Each plant has its own place prepared, taking into account its preferences.

The grassy lawn of low-growing bluegrass forms the basis of the entire site. Paths, lawns between flower beds are sown with a soft carpet of herbs. During the movement, the legs are gently buried in the living "carpet". The impression of home comfort is created. You just want to take off your shoes to run barefoot through the dew, like in childhood.

Along the paths, tall plants organically coexist with undersized ones, creating a saving shadow for the "kids" from the scorching rays of the midday sun. Walking along long alleys lined with bush roses on both sides, you often find yourself under the shady arches of clematis and climbing roses.

All compositions are made taking into account the timing of flowering of various plants. In every period of time, you can always find bright colors of gradually blossoming buds here.

At the beginning of spring, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, and lumbago amaze with their diversity. Then the baton is picked up by aquilegia, mountain women, princes, Levisia. Peonies bloom in early June. Their collection numbers over 200 varieties. Bushes are scattered around the garden in small groups. The extended flowering period allows you to admire them for a month. Treelike, herbaceous, ITO-hybrids decorate the flower beds with their large double “caps”. Sometimes you wonder how a relatively thin stem can withstand such an abundance of petals.

Bearded irises are present in every corner of the garden, complementing the overall picture with their bizarre shapes and colors. Several varieties of panicle and tree hydrangea are located in the center, in front of the swing. Here the hostess prefers to relax in hot weather, while admiring the beauty created by her caring hands.

Often fruit trees (cherry, apple, pear, plum) become the center of the flower garden. All trunks are densely planted with plants that prefer shade. A well-groomed crown does not prevent them from developing normally.

Along the fence there are shady flower beds with hosts, astilbes, geykhers, buzulniks. The host collection has about 300 varieties. There are both giant and miniature specimens. Each has its own place. Blue and variegated varieties look especially impressive. Empress Wu's huge leaves are striking in their size. The older the plant is, the more charm it has.

Not far from the house there is a small reservoir for growing nymphs. Terry inflorescences open at sunrise. In the evening, they turn into pointed cones with tightly closed petals. Every morning it is interesting to watch the miraculous transformation of a nondescript bud into a chic terry flower.

Looking from the outside at this splendor, one thinks: "How much work and time do you need to invest to create such beauty?" Each individual flower requires certain growing conditions. The hostess treats her “pets” with great care. Therefore, they, in turn, try to please her with bright colors of inflorescences.

Several hundred species are located in a small space. Alla knows by sight every, even the smallest, rastish. What is the name, what he loves, what kind of care is required. He can name all varieties of any flower by heart. This is what the love of beauty, instilled in childhood by a grandmother, means.

When the story about plants begins, she is outwardly transformed. It seems that a special, inner light emanates from her. Listening to the hostess, you yourself are involuntarily charged with optimism, the desire to create something similar at home. Fortunately, there is a lot to learn here. Alla is happy to share her experience with others. Helps with the choice of plants, advice on their care.

Two hours fly by. It's time to go. So I don't want to leave this flower paradise!
