Seasons are seasons characterized by weather and temperature. They change depending on the annual cycle. Plants and animals adapt well to these seasonal changes.

In the tropics it is never very cold or very hot; there are only two seasons: one is wet and rainy, the other is dry. Near the equator (the imaginary midline) it is hot and humid throughout the year.

Temperate zones (outside the tropics) have spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Usually, the closer to the Northern or South Pole, the cooler the summer and colder the winter.

In three spring months, nature manages to change beyond recognition. In March, she is just beginning to awaken from hibernation. The spring heat is not enough to make the snow and ice blocks melt, but the air gradually warms up, preparing all living things for a gradual awakening; the first cumulus clouds appear, which still soar very high.

Astronomers consider March 21-22 to be the beginning of spring - the moment of the vernal equinox, when the day equal to night, and the end - June 21-22 - the longest days of the year.

For naturalists, spring begins with the arrival of rooks (on average March 19) and the flow of sap from the Norway maple (March 25).

This season is conventionally divided into three periods: early spring - before the snow melts in the fields (until half of April), middle spring - before the bird cherry blossoms (until half of May) and late spring - before the apple and lilac trees bloom (until the beginning of June).

Phenomena in inanimate nature.

In the second half of March, the days become noticeably longer and the nights become shorter; The sun rises higher and higher at noon above the horizon, its rays fall more directly on the earth and warm it up more strongly. The snow becomes loose, begins to melt, and open places thawed patches form.

In the second half of March, the first cumulus clouds appear.

They are very beautiful, looking like snow-white, dome-shaped masses with smooth bases. Clouds usually appear in the morning or at noon due to the heating of the air adjacent to the ground; in the evening, when the ascending currents weaken, they begin to disappear and melt.

In the first half of April the snow melts off; The streams formed when it melts run down to reservoirs.

Ice drift usually begins in mid-April. Shortly before this, edges appear near the shore - narrow strips of water. Under the influence of water and sun, cracks form in the ice, it splits and moves away. Ice floes, crowded and jostled, rush down the river, hitting the banks and piles of bridges. In the middle of the river, ice floes move faster than near the banks. Along the way they melt. The river is freed from the ice cover, overflows its banks and overflows. The flood begins.

Usually the first thunderstorm occurs in early May.

At this time and later, sudden cold snaps often occur with frosts, from which plants, especially fruit and berry plants, suffer greatly.

Spring awakening of trees. Soon after thawed patches appear, the trees awaken: they begin to flow sap. This phenomenon is revealed if you pierce the bark with a thick needle: a sweet transparent liquid flows out of the rakka; in air it oxidizes and acquires a reddish color.

Extracting sap causes great harm to trees.

Sap flow is a complex physiological process. The roots begin to actively absorb water from the thawing soil, which dissolves winter reserves. nutrients plants and in the form of a solution moves along the trunk and branches to the buds.

Swelling and budding.

Top 16 primroses among shrubs and trees

Ten days after the start of sap flow, swelling of the buds becomes noticeable, in which rudimentary shoots are located under the protective bud scales.

Wind-pollinated trees and shrubs bloom before they are covered with leaves, or at the very beginning of their development.

Alder and hazel are the first to bloom in the second half of April, and among those pollinated by insects, willow. The buds of the willow are tightly covered with brown scales that look like caps.

Having shed them, the buds look like fluffy balls consisting of hairs that protect the flowers from sudden fluctuations in temperature and rain.

In April, most of the trees are still bare, but the integumentary scales of the swollen buds are already moving apart, and the tailbones of the leaves appear from them.
The appearance of leaves. The young leaves of some trees are covered with a sticky fragrant substance, while others have a fluff that protects them from the cold.

The light green color of the trees is tender and transparent at this time.

At the end of April, bird cherry and birch buds bloom; in the first half of May - buds of maple, yellow acacia, apple and pear trees, and then - oak and linden.

In late spring, in the second half of May, the real blossoming of spring begins. Bird cherry blossoms, at the same time - black currants, a little later - wild strawberries and fruit trees, lilac, rowan and most herbaceous plants.

In the last days of May, the fruits of aspen and willow ripen.

The petals of apple and lilac flowers fall off - spring ends, summer begins.

Biology Spring phenomena in plant life

Spring is the time for nature to awaken. According to the calendar, spring begins on March 1st. In nature, spring comes into its own with the beginning of sap flow in the trees, earlier in the south and later in the north on March 1.

The spring movement of sap in trees and shrubs is the first sign of spring. It occurs after the soil thaws and water from the roots begins to flow into all organs of the plant. At that time leaves Not yet.

Water accumulating in cells plant stems, dissolves the stored in them organic matter. These solutions move to the swollen and blooming kidneys. Already at the beginning of March, spring sap flow begins in Norway maple, earlier than in other trees, and a little later in birch.

The second sign of spring is the flowering of wind-pollinated trees and shrubs.

Gray alder is the first to bloom in the central European part of the USSR. Its flowers are inconspicuous, but the blooming earrings of staminate flowers are clearly visible 123 . As soon as you touch an alder branch with earrings, the wind picks up a whole cloud of yellow pollen.

Pistillate alder flowers are collected in small grayish-green inflorescences. Next to them, the dry, blackened cones of last year's inflorescences are usually clearly visible.

Almost simultaneously with the alder, the hazel tree, which you met in the fall, blooms.

The staminate flowers of hazel develop in inflorescences - complex catkins, and the reddish stigmas of pistillate flowers protrude from generative (flower) buds.

Early flowering of alder, hazel and other wind-pollinated plants plants- good adaptation to life in the forest.

Bare leafless branches do not impede pollination. Pollen picked up by the wind is freely transferred from one plant to another.

The flowering of coltsfoot is also a sign of the coming spring. This perennial herbaceous plant grows in open, sunlit places, on railway embankments, river banks, steep slopes and cliffs.

As soon as the snow melts, its scaly stems already appear - flower stalks with bright yellow inflorescences, similar to the inflorescences of dandelions 124 . Large leaves of coltsfoot grow after its fluffy fruits ripen and disperse.

Coltsfoot received its unusual name for the uniqueness of its leaves. Their underside is covered with white, soft, felt-like hairs, and the upper side of the leaves is smooth and cold.

Coltsfoot blooms in early spring, before the leaves bloom, perhaps because its thick, long rhizomes contain reserves of nutrients deposited in the summer of last year.

Feeding on these reserves, flower plants grow shoots and fruits are formed.

The third sign of spring is the flowering of perennial herbaceous plants in the deciduous forest. In the middle zone they bloom almost simultaneously with coltsfoot. The first to bloom in the forest are the noble liverwort with azure flowers and the lungwort, then the oak anemone and buttercup 125 , corydalis 119 , spring clear 126 , spring primrose 127 .

Flowering shrubs in spring

All of them are photophilous and bloom under the forest canopy, when there is no foliage on the trees and shrubs.

In the life of some early flowering herbaceous plants of the forest, their growth under snow is very interesting. Plants such as scilla or snowdrop grow under the snow in winter.

In the spring, many of them emerge from under the snow with green leaves and buds that formed last fall.

Οʜᴎ often bloom before the snow melts 128 . That's why these plants are called snowdrops.

Plants that bloom in early spring always attract attention because they are beautiful and because after a long winter they are the first flowering plants. Unfortunately, they are often collected in large bouquets. They often destroy entire plants by uprooting them. Plants whose flowering shoots are torn off do not produce fruits or seeds.

This makes it difficult for them to reproduce. Many of the plants have become very rare, for example, liverwort and sleep grass. We must not allow them to disappear completely. We are obliged to take care of the preservation of plants, not to tear them in order to throw them away every other day, not to damage wild plants and to actively protect nature.

Protection of Nature and rational use natural resources countries are legalized by the Constitution of Russia, i.e.

e. obligatory for all citizens of our country.

Trees and shrubs that are pollinated by insects bloom later, after the leaves have bloomed. If you observe the progress of spring from year to year, you will be able to establish the sequence of spring development of plants.

In the middle zone of the European part of the USSR, usually 8 days after the coltsfoot flowering, lungwort begins to bloom, and 21 days later - dandelion and willow willow.

The pear blooms on the 29th day, the yellow acacia on the 30th, and the linden on the 75th day after the coltsfoot begins to bloom.

Every year, spring phenomena occur in strict order. For example, lungwort always blooms later than coltsfoot, but before dandelion.

Observations of spring phenomena in plant life help to establish best timing carrying out agricultural work and preparing for it in a timely manner.

For example, it is known: in areas of the middle zone best harvest cucumbers are obtained by sowing their seeds during the flowering of lilac and yellow acacia, and the best harvest of turnips and beets is obtained by sowing them during the flowering of aspen.

Knowing how many days after the flowering of the coltsfoot the lilac blooms, it is easy to set the date for sowing cucumbers and prepare for it.

Signs of spring in inanimate nature:
1) Main sign In inanimate nature, spring means that the sun rises much higher above the horizon than in winter.
2) It shines brighter and warms more and more every day.

The days are getting longer.
3) The most noticeable sign of the onset of spring in inanimate nature is the melting of snow.
4) The ice begins to melt. Ice drift begins on the rivers.
5) It is very dangerous to walk on melted ice. You cannot play games on the river during ice drift.
6) When rivers and lakes overflow with water from melted snow, water fills meadows, forests, and fields along the river.

This is called high water.
7) The soil thaws from the spring heat. A lot of moisture accumulates in it. Plants really need this moisture.
8) In spring it rains, not snow. The first thunderstorm is not far away.

Signs of spring in wildlife:
a) in the life of birds with the arrival of spring: they return migratory birds, build nests, lay eggs, hatch chicks
Such changes became possible because many birds feed on insects. And with the arrival of spring, insects crawl out of their hiding places.

There is more food for the birds. Ice on rivers and lakes has melted, so waterfowl are returning

b) in the life of animals: Animals molt - they change their winter coat to a summer one. Bears, badgers, hedgehogs, and chipmunks are waking up from their winter sleep.

Many animals give birth to cubs in the spring.

c) Buds swell on deciduous trees and shrubs; catkins, silvery lambs, flowers appear, then leaves appear. In coniferous trees, the color of the bark and needles changes.
Young grass covers the ground, and many plants begin to bloom. Usually early flowering herbaceous plants They are called snowdrops.

if you write everything briefly:
The sun is higher than in winter. The days have become longer. It's getting warmer outside. The sky in spring is blue and high.

The clouds are white and light. Snow and ice are melting. There is ice drift and flood on the rivers. In the spring, it snows or rains in different months. In May the first thunderstorm thunders. The soil thaws, buds appear on the trees, and then sticky leaves appear. Primroses are blooming. Insects appear. Migratory birds are returning. Forest animals breed.

– familiarization with changes in trees and shrubs, with changes in buds.

Progress of the lesson:

I. Organization of attention.

Updating what was previously learned.

– What are the mushrooms that we find in the forest made of?

– What is the name of the underground part of the mushroom?

– Do you need a fly agaric?

– Who is it useful for?

– What mushrooms cannot be picked?

– What should be done to avoid damaging the mycelium?

– Is it possible to collect old mushrooms?

1. Statement of the topic and purpose of the lesson.

It is impossible to imagine our nature without the white-trunked beauty of the birch. How many fairy tales, poems, songs have been written about her? Interestingly, the birch, the only tree in Russia with white bark, lives

birch 100 - 120 years. Yes, people love birch, but how often do they not take care of it? Losing a considerable part of its sap in the spring due to human fault, the birch

If you inflict wounds on her for several years in a row, she may

completely die. Remember that the sugar contained in the sap is needed to nourish the tree!

The movement of sap in trees and shrubs is a sign of their spring

awakening.

Another sign is the flowering of some trees and shrubs. Alder is the first tree to bloom. It is easily recognized in winter and spring by the black cones on the branches. In spring, catkins appear on alder trees.

Which trees are the first to wake up in spring? I urgently give 100 points

Earrings are many small flowers gathered together.

Willow blooms early in spring. Bees and bumblebees hover near its flowers. They come here for sweet nectar.

Of the shrubs, hazel and wolf's face. On hazel, like on alder, catkins are visible. And wolf's bast is a poisonous plant.

All these plants are early flowering. They bloom before they bloom

Birch blooms later, when its leaves are already beginning to bloom.

Even later, the bird cherry blossoms.

Swelling of buds and blossoming of leaves is a sign of spring.

awakening trees and shrubs.

Guys, interesting changes occur in the spring with coniferous plants.

The larch is completely covered with new needles. But conifers never bloom.

Rules of friends of nature: do not damage the bark of trees, do not cut into

her letters.

Don't collect birch sap. Take care of the trees! Don't break branches flowering trees and bushes. Without flowers there will be no fruits!

IV. Physical exercise.

V. Practical work.

It cannot be argued that beauty is a very relative concept, but there are some plants whose superiority everyone will agree on. We have prepared a list of the 12 most beautiful trees according to most people.

Sakura - this is the name of one of the most beautiful trees with pink flowers. Its beauty is admired by many peoples of the world, but most often it is found in Japan. That is why the inhabitants of this country made sakura their symbol.

Belongs to the Pink family, Plum subfamily. The type of sakura is finely serrated. Japanese tree kept not for the sake of the fruit, but for the sake of it bright colors. In total there are more than 20 types of sakura.

The big disadvantage is the fact that the flowering period is only 7 days a year. However, this time is many people's favorite: hundreds of tourists flock to Japan to watch the cherry blossoms.

The fruits of the tree are black drupes. Their size is only 6-7 mm. In Japan, sakura can be found literally everywhere: it grows in cities, towns, and along roadsides.

Did you know? Japanese weather forecasters create a separate cherry blossom forecast, telling residents exactly when to expect the flowers to begin to bloom.

It can rise up to 10 m. The diameter is often about 5 m. The branches grow rapidly, so the shoots overloaded with flowers begin to sag.

In summer the leaves are glossy green color, in the spring they acquire a bronze tint. In autumn, the foliage turns yellow and some areas become bright orange. However, such color changes also depend on the type of sakura.
It adapts well to new places, but you need to choose a site for planting carefully. Sakura loves slopes or hills that receive sunlight.

Delonix regalis is called the fire tree. According to some ratings, it is one of the five most beautiful trees in the world. It acquired this title thanks to its bright branches, the flowering of which can be seen from afar.

WITH different languages The name of the plant is translated differently: peacock flower, Krishna's crown, Phoenix's tail. However, people always call it the fire tree, red flame or flaming tree.
The plant's homeland is the dry forests of the island of Madagascar. IN wildlife it is practically never found and today belongs to the class of endangered species. However, there is no need to worry, as the tree is being actively planted in cities around the world. In particular, they love to plant it in America.

These are low plants (on average they reach 9 m), but their crown is very wide. Often the crown width is greater than the height. Thanks to this feature, delonix creates a dense shadow that saves city dwellers from the heat on hot days.

It does not tolerate cold, it can survive a period of severe drought, but the leaves will begin to turn yellow at this time. Flowers on the tree consist of 4 identical petals 5-8 cm long, which are spread apart from each other in different directions.
Delonix can also be grown at home, but as a tub plant or as a plant.

Did you know? Bonsai is the art of growing an exact replica of a tree in miniature.

The Japanese often compare gardens with blooming wisteria to a walk through real paradise. This comparison is understandable: you can watch a rainbow of pink, purple and lilac flowers growing on a tree.
In the wild, wisteria grows in subtropical areas. There are 9 types of plants in total, but the most famous and most blooming are the Chinese and Japanese ones.

At home, it is used to plant trees in vertical areas (walls or fences). It takes up little space, but at the same time has enormous aesthetic potential.

Woody deciduous has drooping branches with purple flowers, which can reach 18 m in length. The abundance of such branches is what makes it so attractive to passersby. The odd-pinnate leaves of the tree are approximately 30 cm long.
The flowers bloom at the end of March and can bloom all summer until the very end. In the garden, the plant is shaped like vines on the walls of buildings or grown a separate tree. At home, the plant blooms in containers and does not reach large sizes.

Albizia is a deciduous tree that belongs to the Mimosa family. Distributed in Australia and Africa. Albizia reaches 8 m in height, has feathery leaves and capitate inflorescences. The tree is considered beautiful precisely because of its fluffy and delicate flowers.
Light green openwork leaves give the plant a bright decorative look. Usually their length is 20 cm. This is not an evergreen tree; the leaves fall off in late autumn.

The flowering period is from July to October, and it is at this time that you should come to admire the albizia. In total, the tree lives about 100 years, but much depends on the living conditions.

Important! Albizia does not tolerate drafts or frost, this causes brown spots to appear on the leaves. dark spots. In the future, he may even die.

IN indoor culture this plant usually does not take root. But it grows well in the garden, in sunny areas. It is planted abundantly in the Crimea, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea coast.

Belongs to the Vereskov family. The heat-loving tree grows mainly in the Mediterranean. In northern latitudes it does not take root well, as it does not tolerate cold.

The name speaks for itself; it is translated into Russian in two words: and tree. Flowers growing on a tree are very similar to real ones.
Very often it is grown indoors. In nature, they reach 30 m in height, but some species are short. The flowers themselves can grow up to 20 cm in diameter.

They are very whimsical to conditions environment: influence on normal growth correct lighting, soil, access to water, proximity to other plant species.

The flowers look very impressive if you plant rhododendron in groups. They are often placed mixed with other species of the same family. Multi-colored bunches of flowers stand out well against the background of the rest of the greenery in the garden.
The flower is very popular all over the world. It takes root well in many places on the planet, and its bell-shaped, funnel-shaped or wheel-shaped flowers have already become a favorite of many people.

Cassia is a close relative of the famous Chinese brown tree. The second name of the plant is aromatic cinnamon. Family - Laurels.
Cassia reaches about 15 m in height. Small oval leaves that have a glossy surface grow on the branches. The flowers are painted in a pale yellow hue. They small size, however, there are so many of them that they practically cover the crown of the tree.

Did you know? Cassia bark is often sold under the guise of cinnamon. It is written on the packaging that this is so-called “fake cinnamon”.

The difference between cassia and cinnamon is as follows:

1. She's darker.
2. There is a certain graininess at the fracture.
3. The taste is more tart, there is some pepperiness.
4. The sticks are less twisted.

Most often, the tree is grown in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Cambodia for the production of spices. However, the tree also grows simply on city streets like decorative decoration. Spices are made from the bark of the plant.

Important! Spices made from cassia contain the substance coumarin. It can cause headaches and dizziness.

Because of the yellow flowers that grow on cassia, it is often called the golden shower tree. The branches are filled with bright petals around the end of spring. The diameter of one flower is about 15-20 cm. All of them are collected in numerous inflorescences, each of which reaches 40 cm in length.

A beautiful flowering tree called Canadian lives in the Mediterranean, Afghanistan, and Iran. The genus Cercis includes only 7 species of different deciduous trees and shrubs.
Plants love warmth; you can watch them bloom in nature only in warm areas of the country. It is the Canadian species that can most often be found on the street, since it is the most frost-resistant compared to others.

This large tree, which reaches 12 m in height. Small ones grow on the branches pink flowers, which are taken not by their size, but by quantity: one bunch consists of 6-9 pieces. A tree with large, broadly oval or heart-shaped leaves that have a smooth structure.

By the end of August, the beans ripen on the tree. They can easily hang on a tree for up to 2 years. Cercis does not grow very quickly: the shoots alone will grow 20 cm in three years.
The Canadian species has two decorative forms that can be purchased in the store - white-flowered and terry.

The genus includes about 80 plant species. In the wild, it is most common in Asia and North and South America.
It is rightly called a very beautiful plant: it has large unusual flowers and leaves having a shiny, fleshy texture. There are many variations of petals, each of which is unusual and attractive in its own way.

Flowers can have up to 15 elongated or small star-shaped petals. The color palette is very extensive: you can find white, pink, lilac, purple shades. At the same time, the flowers emit a pleasant soft aroma.
If you have seen such a plant in your city, then most likely it is an Asian species. It is considered one of the most frost-resistant. You may also come across types such as magnolia kobus, naked or lily-flowered. All of them can withstand a climate that is unfriendly for heat-loving trees.

It reaches a height of about 5 m. It blooms most brightly from late April to mid-May. The plant has its own fruits: cone-shaped leaflets.
Inside are seeds that have egg-shaped and glossy structure. When the fruits open, the seeds begin to hang from there on thin threads.

Lagerstroemia - this is the name of the Indian lilac, so nicknamed because of its amazing resemblance to the common lilac. It became Indian because it grows mainly in India.
There it grows literally everywhere: right on the highways, along streets and houses. The plant propagates by seeds; gardeners say that this is a fairly easy process. That is why you can easily grow it not only in your dacha, but even just in your room.

The flowering period begins quite quickly: no later than six months after sowing. If you grow it at home, it will bloom in the summer, but it will delight you with its petals throughout the fall, and sometimes even later.

In the wild, flowers bloom in December, but it is worth considering that this only happens in warm countries.

Did you know? In 1924 and 2002, Indian lilac became the winner of world exhibitions of beautiful flowering trees.

In the Philippine Islands, the plant is considered sacred and many are attributed to it. magical properties. The tree has a slender trunk covered with bark, which easily separates from it and forms long strips.

Pyracantha is probably the only one of the above plants that easily tolerates the cold season. So, in winter on snowy days it looks very impressive: the fiery berries stand out colorfully against a white background.
It is chosen by many gardeners who want to give winter garden even more charm due to the flowering of evergreen shrubs. Pyracantha is beautiful at any time of the year: in winter it turns red with bright berries, in spring it is covered with white-cream fragrant flowers, and in autumn it is covered with berries that turn an orangish hue.

Do you want all your neighbors to admire your spring-blooming garden? Plant it with spectacular trees and shrubs that shine with beauty in April and May.

We have not included all existing plants in the list, but only those that are especially popular among flower growers, are not very demanding to care for, are cold-resistant, and are not inferior to exotic plants in terms of decorativeness.

1. Almonds are low

Low almond, steppe almond, dwarf almond - all these are names of the same plant - a low, slow-growing deciduous shrub that belongs to the Rosaceae family.

It is very decorative, and not only during flowering. In addition, the shrub has medicinal properties, gives bountiful harvest and at the same time unpretentious in care. Steppe almonds winter safely without shelter even in Siberia.

The plant blooms in April for several weeks. Numerous soft pink flowers with a diameter of 2-3 cm bloom on the branches simultaneously with green lanceolate leaves. They have oval petals 10-17 mm long.

2. Forsythia, or forsythia

Sunny forsythia can be found in many cities; this bright shrub adorns city parks and areas near residential buildings. Yellow bell-like flowers appear in April even before the leaves bloom. And if you cut forsythia branches in February and put them in water at home, then after 2 weeks you will get a miniature golden beauty in a vase.

3. Spring-blooming spirea

In spring, spireas oakleaf, Arguta, gray, alpine, crenate, three-lobed, Thunberga, etc. bloom. Numerous white flowers appear on last year's shoots in May. Flowering lasts about a month. However, shrubs look most impressive in spring only if they grow in a sunny area. In the shade the flowers become smaller.

This "Russian sakura" blooms in early May. For two weeks before the leaves bloom, the bush is strewn with delicate flowers that look like roses, pink or crimson in color. Despite the heat-loving nature, the charming Louiseania grows well in the unstable climate of the middle zone. True, it overwinters exclusively under cover.

This popular shrub needs no introduction. Its fluffy panicle inflorescences bloom in early May and do not fade until the end of the month. The color of the flowers, depending on the variety, can be white, pink, lilac, purple, violet.

Rhododendrons belong to the Ericaceae family. These small trees and shrubs are found throughout the world, but are especially popular in China and Japan. Rhododendron flowers are collected in multi-flowered inflorescences of various colors: pink, purple, red, orange, yellow, white. They bloom in May, and at this time it is impossible to take your eyes off the rhododendron.

IN middle lane The most winter-hardy and unpretentious rhododendrons are grown: Katevbinsky, Daurian, Vazeya, golden, Caucasian, pointed, Japanese. Only their heat-loving varieties need shelter, and species plants tolerate even harsh winters well.

7. Barberry Thunberg

This deciduous shrub with branching shoots is primarily famous for its bright red berries, which decorate the plant from mid-summer to late winter. But the reddish-yellow flowers are no less spectacular. They bloom at the end of May and bloom for 10-12 days.

Barberry Thunberg also has decorative small leaves. In species plants they are bright green (scarlet in autumn), and in varietal specimens they can be yellow ( Aurea), brown ( Bagatelle), purple with border ( Golden Ring), variegated ( Rose Glow) and etc.

Deciduous forms of magnolia bloom in April-May, and the flowers bloom before the leaves appear. The most popular spring-flowering magnolias are holly, naked, star, Kobus, Soulange, Loebner. It is noteworthy that in mid-summer these shrubs can bloom again.

Magnolia flowers are pink or white and very fragrant. Depending on the type, they can be small or large (up to 20 cm in diameter).

Large spherical buds (15-25 cm in diameter) appear on the bush in the second half of May and do not fade for about two weeks. Double or semi-double flowers can be white, soft lilac, pink, crimson or lilac with a dark crimson spot at the base.

In ornamental gardening, the most common hybrids are subshrub peony. They have long feathery leaves and white, pink, lilac or red flowers with a diameter of 25 cm.

In April - early May, numerous flowers with five petals from soft pink to dark burgundy bloom on plum branches. During flowering or immediately after it, attractive purple or dark green leaves hatch on the tree.

This tree is grown not for its harvest, but to decorate the garden. White, pink or purple flowers appear on the plant in May, and in autumn and winter the tree is covered with small red apples. The leaves are no less attractive: in many specimens they are burgundy or purple.

IN landscape design the most commonly used ornamental apple tree varieties are Royalty, Helena, Everest, Royal Beauty, Rudolf, as well as the Niedzwiecki apple tree.

In May, our gardens are also decorated with the well-known bird cherry. Its white panicle inflorescences exude a rich aroma that spreads throughout the entire area. But keep in mind: you shouldn’t get too carried away and plant entire hedges of bird cherry, as its strong smell can cause headaches. A few small trees will be enough to enjoy the flowering of this plant.

Bird cherry blooms profusely in well-lit areas with moist soils.

This bush is also known to both old and young. Wild roses bloom on the bush at the end of May and exude pleasant aroma. The plant is unpretentious and does not require watering, but for lush flowering it needs enough light.

Instructions

The earliest to bloom is the willow and all plants from the willow family - willow, rose, willow, willow, willow, etc. In the central part of Russia, “willow” or “broom bush” is most widespread and famous. You can find willow in forests and swamps. One of the earliest flowering willows is the thin columnar willow or Thunberg, common in Far East. In mountainous areas there are dwarf willows, the height of which does not exceed 1 inch. That is, they do not rise above the mosses among which they grow.

Many of the members of this family bloom in March, when there is still snow on the ground. The shoots are covered with white, gray or yellow earrings, along with which leaves appear. Although in some species of willows the flowers bloom first, and only then the leaves appear. Holly willow is called willow or red willow. It has beautiful red-brown shoots with a bluish bloom. Flowering time also occurs in March-April, and in May you can already observe the whirling of light seeds. The three-stamened willow is called a vine. This species is the most common in Russia.

White or silver willow is called willow. Perhaps you have had the opportunity to admire it during the wind: when it gusts, the tree turns its leaves either green or silver. Norway willow or willow is a wind-pollinated plant that blooms long before its leaves appear. The absence of the latter only benefits the tree, since they do not interfere air flows and do not retain pollen. Since the plant does not produce nectar and, accordingly, does not attract insects, it does not need to care about the beauty of the flowers: they are usually small and inconspicuous in appearance, collected in earring inflorescences.

However, you can see insects buzzing around the willow, which confirms the hypothesis that the tree has an adaptation to pollination with their help. The advantage of willow is that it is not adapted to a specific type of insect, so flies and bumblebees circle around willow flowers. Some types of willows are cultivated and grown in their own gardens and on personal plots, enjoying their color, and unusually shaped branches and leaves.

Some of the most beloved by gardeners and gardeners include brittle willow, goat willow, purple willow, creeping willow, whole-leaved willow, rosemary-leaved willow, etc. The Matsuda willow is very beautiful, which is a tree with serpentine-curved green shoots. This small shrub with an openwork crown has narrow-lanceolate, long-pointed leaves.

With the first rays of spring and the melting of snow, the first flowers awaken. In addition to snowdrops, other early flowering plants are also harbingers of spring.

Instructions

First spring flower is Chionodoxa luciliae. Due to its early flowering, this plant also has another name - Glory of Snows. Small (up to 15 cm) bulbous plant breaks through the melting snow for two weeks. On a thin stem there are 10-15 flowers with a diameter of up to 3 cm, externally resembling wide bells. Bright blue, blue, lilac flowers and linear emerald leaves adorn the mountain slopes and alpine meadows at an altitude of about 2 km.

The most famous (and therefore very rare today) primrose is the Common (Galanthus nivalis). The snowdrop is recognizable by its linear leaves, which it produces first, and its white drooping bells. This delicate frost-resistant plant is listed in the Red Book. Therefore, you should think carefully before picking these primroses.

The harbinger of spring in our latitudes is Vesennik or Eranthis hyemalis. It is a single bush up to 30 cm high, on which there are many yellow cup-shaped flowers of medium size. Vesennik's leaves are thin and heavily dissected. The plant has a rich honey aroma.

Almost simultaneously with Vesennik, the purple, white, yellow and bluish flowers of the Iris reticulata bloom. The plant has thin linear leaves, produces a pleasant aroma and blooms from February to April. The reticulated iris rises above the ground by only 8-15 cm, half of which is the length of the flowers.
