The Leufsta Peony in many forms and a strange onion at our cottage

In my village Lövstabruk I often visit Josephina and her Lövstabruks Trädgårdsmästeri/Garden center from 1730's.

I love the athomsphere plus it's a pleasure to chat with Josephine the Gardener/Owner which is passionate about old plants and old garden traditions.

She have a lot of older Pelargoniums in the greenhouse

There is some traditional plants from Lövstabruks Manor house and garden that have been there for many, many years and it is hard to actually say where they come from and when.

One of them that atleast have been here from the end of 1800's, which then where pictured in the then German style garden and that is whats now called the Leufsta Peony.

You can find it here in the Manor House garden and green house, but also in many of the gardens in the village.

It's actually a few different versions of it and Josephine think it has been 7 variations from the beginning.

I have one of them planted in my garden this spring, but will not know until next year hopefully what colour I got. Exciting!

Beautiful settings

The colour of this Lupine is breath taking

So is this Geranium Magnificum/Kungsnäva

Lamium/Rosenplister

This light pink Geranium/Näva I have in my garden as well, bought here.

I planted them in my Iris flowerbed to accent the sharp Iris leafs

Yesterday I wen't to our summer cottage by the Baltic Sea & the river Dalälven to re-dig the composts.

On the way there do I pass these beautiful fields of summer flowers, Blue bells just now.

Well at the cottage I'm always enjoying my mothers cottage garden and it's flowers

We composting everything here, from the garden and the kitchen, with great results. It's such a satisfaction to know you're doing the right thing, and get rewarded with brown gold!

Down by the water we recently discovered a new plant down there in the edge.

We first thought it was a weed, but it looked strange and tasted/smelled Chives/Gräslök but is much sturdier and longer.

Yesterday I discovered a small thicker opening high up on the grass not bigger than a cwntimeter, and out looked small small pinkish onions and a very small yellow flower!

It tastes like mild onion!

Is it anyone that can tell me what it is?

Well with some sparkly water I leave You for now!

Thank You for the visit, Per!

Mid May flower report from my village Lövstabruk in Uppland

Living in a area where the spring is several months long is a pure pleasure, and as I usually say: "It's like falling in love, over and over again, for months". 

Every day there is something new to see, overlapping of flowers along the roads, lawns, forrests or a fragance hitting You around the corner that wasn't there the day before!

Today it was a sunny day and I took a long walk around our village with my camera:

Our lawns have been covered with White Snowdrops, Blue Scilla, Yellow Springonions and now Daisys/Bellis & Yellow Primroses

At the Manor house the Linden trees got their leaves the last couple of days

And in the Fruit orchard the Cherry and Appletrees showing off

Clean Air :D

We have enjoyed the fantastic flavour of Ramson/Ramslök for a long while but now it's time to enjoy the flowers and the subtle smell of fresh onion

During my walk I met cute Tifla, a Danish-Swedish Farmdog

In my own garden have the Forget-Me-Not/Förgätmigej started to bloom along the edges

The Tarda Tulips/Flocktulpan are full on

This Daisy/Bellis in my lawn looks like it is on steriods

Thank You for today, hope Your day was great as well, Per!
