Images from The "Rum & Trädgård" fair in Kista-Stockholm!

Today the garden fair "Rum & Trädgård" (Room & Garden) open the doors in Kista-Stockholm.

I wen't there, trying to not get tempted purchasing flowers, but to use the opportunity to take photos for my portfolio.

It was a lot of the same as on the "Nordic Garden Show", but I made two new pleasant discoveries in the garden world (for me).

"Moderådets" Green wall at the entrance

These arrangements where hanging along the main isle

Not a fan of Carnations/Nejlikor, but this beauty I could live with

New for me, and very intresting was Bürgers Växtgård, with a lot of fascinating plants!

 Magnolia "Susan" from Bürgers

Floristutbildarna (Florist Education) had very etheric and beautiful arrangements

Lovely Mats and Margareta from Pelargonfönstret (Window of Pelargoniums) was busy as usual

It seems that the Ranunculus was the flower ala mode this time

A Little oasis made by Gustavshill with a lot of Hydrangea/Hortensia

Tasteful arrangements by Ulriksdals Slottsträdgård

Luscious arrangements by Blomsterlandet

Flowers and Veggies together by Annelie Källberg from Norrby Trädgård

The second new discovery for me was so exciting with a lot of rare plants that they purely grown from seeds: Trädgårdsfröet!

This is Anemone Nemorosa Virescens

Erythronium "Kinfauns Pink"

 As a Fritillaria/Kungsängslilja lover did I fall in love with this one

Trädgårdsmästeriet at Steninge Slottsgalleria had exotic and very fragant plants

Hope You enjoyed my tour at the fair, Warm regards, Per!

On the way to the commuting train did I pass by this gorgeous Magnolia :D

Slow sunny sunday & Favorite Pelargoniums

Today it was sunny and bright, but still pretty cold, so in order to take care of my own cold I decided not to dig vegetable beds as planned, but prepare the pallet collars for them instead.

Sunny view over to the neighbor, they have the same little barn building as I, and two beautiful Larch trees/Lärkträd that hasn't got their needles yet.

At my one and only vegetable bed, so far, have the Red Garlic Rossi di Sulmona survived 3 surprise snowstorms so far this spring

On the top floor in my little barn did I prepare 4 more pallet collars with Cold pressed Linseed oil for the coming vegetable beds

Inside my house, up in the flower room with skylights, does it grow rapidly of seeds, bulbs, cuttings and others, such a pleasure to check in there every day. I still keeping the heat pretty low up there.

On the photo under supervision of my Chilean Tomte; Fuchsias, Pelargoniums, Hollyhocks, Ornäs Birches, Maple, Peones,.......

Can not help experiment with Bonsais, a remain from compact living with a balcony.

These are Maples, the "larger" one from the Lilac hedge at our cottage and the new small ones from Maple seeds I found around the garden a couple of weeks ago.

I have a few favorites among my many Pelargoniums

This is a "Pelargonium Carnosium"

When it comes to my favorites, I also make sure they get special pots that fits their peronality, to this one I got a cool black pot with spikes around the adge from Turbin Konsthantverk in Wij Gardens Ockelbo

Well I also got the Pelargonium from very special people a few years ago, the Pelargonuim experts Margareta & Mats Asplund at Pelargonfönstret in Örbyhus, very close to here. Love them and their personalities :D

My other favorite is this Suckulent "Pelargonium Cotyledonis" from ERA gardens, I have two from them

The personal pot for this one I found here in the village Lövstabruk at Hantverkets Hus by Susanne Thurfjell, in nice matte black with the old "L", that in the old days where stamped on the Iron made here.

Since it was sunny, even if coolish, did I grab my camera and ventured out in our village (to get the pot above), found that the Snowdrops still going since a month!

Hope You all had a great Sunday!

Per!
