A visit to the legendary Trädgår'n i Söderfors

Today my gardenfriend Evy from our village Lövstabruk and I wen't to the famous garden center "Trädgår'n" in Söderfors here in Uppland.

I have heard so much about it for years and now I atlast I got the oportunity.

What they don't have isn't much, and I found the climbing Rose Iceberg there at last, so happy.

We also had a coffee by the waterfront!

I was to excited to take photos of the environment, but got a few of flowers I liked:

When we had coffee by the water did we feel the amazing smell of Lily of the Valley, and saw these by the wall of the café

On the way home did we have to stop the car, what a cool sight: a huge Wood-Grouse/Tjäder. 

I only had my pocket camera, but got some shots out of the car, before he charged towards me and I ran like a chicken, haha

At home I had a coffee by the Pelargoniums that I'm moving out a daytime to get them used to the climate before I move them out for the summer

"Happy Thought Pink"

"Francis James"

"Hellekis Säteri"

The Pelargonium of the Year (Sweden) "Moonlight Katy 13"

This is the first perennial flower bed I dug when I moved in in October last year.

The perennials I planted then start to come up now.

My favorite Tarda Tulip are bloomed over, the Yellow one.

Now is the time for the Red Tarda Tulip

That slowly giving way for the Orange Tarda Tulip

Hope You all had a great day as well!

Perennial Flowers at our cottage by the Baltic Sea

Today I went to our cottage at Kopphuslandet in Northern Uppland close to the Baltic by the river Dalälven!

I wen't there to see my parents for coffee and also get cuttings from our Lilac hedge to take to my house in Lövstabruk.

On the seaside it's really hard to get flowers growing so my mother usually have flowers in pots here, but on the west side does she have my favorite perennial flower beds! Here I have been taking a lot of photos through the years

 A lot of old style cottage flowers in abundance along the wall and around the rock. Along the mixed hedge (Lilacs/Syrén & Bird Cherry/Hägg) do we have flowers from the nature; Anemone, Lily of the Valley, Primroses, Snowdrops,....

Here is my favorite Tarda Tulip/Flocktulpan that I also planted at my house as You saw in yesterdays blog

A white Fritillaria Meleagris/Kungsängslilja

And the same but with the regular checkerboard pattern

Lupines on their way

Stunning Primula from seeds my mother put here for many years ago and some Peonies/Pioner with intense red colour before they turn green.

A flower I want in my garden as well is the Martagon/Krollilja, love this powerful flower standing over everything, for now it's just growing but beautiful anyway.

A Bergenia with the first flowers

Later we wen't to my parents place for dinner and there it is a smaller forrest of Birches/Björkar I just love.

Specially to follow the season through them, just now with bright green small leaves

Have a great weekend!

Wishes, Per!
