Greetings to all my esteemed readers looking to visit our friends to see how their case knowledge of the world as quickly moving their job.
And they, meanwhile, try as possible to finish their "Flower Alphabet", because coming home soon Eugene grandmother, and summer will soon be over.
Besides, they have a few other plans, which while they keep quiet and tell nobody.
That is why Mary, when I woke up this morning, offered Eugene a little to accelerate their research. To explore and describe the flowers are not one letter a day, and two, especially because they have so little left.
Well, and Eugene, of course, agreed. He never contradicted his girlfriend, and I wish he'd tried, she'd quickly put him in his place!)
First in this day, the alphabet had a letter "H", and Maria was telling my friend to get acquainted with the "Mock orange", which is also called "Jasmine Garden", although it is not related to the "Jasmine real."
• So why are we going to do it, if he almost like the Jasmine, which we already wrote? - asked Zhenya, that we other flowers on this letter to find can't?
• Why can't? - didactic tone said to him Masha, - of course we will, that's just nothing you from this plant so I decided just to give up. First, it grows in the gardens of many people, and secondly, it is so diverse in species and varieties, as the beautiful flowers that you yourself will not notice how you will fall in love with him.
• Well, okay then, come on, î agreed Eugene, and they start to went to the garden to see this miracle of nature. Far to go was not necessary, because the mock orange Bush growing right in the middle of the garden. He was so beautiful that Eugene even bit her tongue with delight.
• Well, - with ehidtsey asked him Masha, - it is worth it in order to write about it?
• Even as it is, - agreed with her boy, well, what now?
• Well, for work, sit down on the bench and start to draw, and I'll tell you what I learned about this flower.
• His first name, "Mock orange" comes from the fact that shoots of this plant, used for making Smoking pipes Chubukov, and growers began calling it "the Jasmine Garden" for the similarity of its flowers with the "common Jasmine", well, because of its divine aroma.
• It grows only on the street, because it is a shrub that can get huge up to 6 meters in height, but you have to keep in mind that not all varieties can survive the harsh cold of winter. Yes, and they bloom at different times, so those who want more than three weeks to see the flowers of this plant can be planted in your garden several types of mock orange. Then he will be able to enjoy the view and fragrance of these flowers almost all summer throughout June and early August.
• The first in Russia begins to bloom chubushnik coronal with simple small fragrant creamy-white flowers that have such decorative forms as:
Golden
variegated
dwarf
• Breeders have developed many different varieties of this plant, each of which in its own way charming. I even will not undertake to enumerate here all the flower names, too many of them. The most popular of these is "Virginal" with large fluffy white flowers, exuding a delicate fragrance.
• Growers-breeders so loved this flower that they give to almost everyone, again derived, it seemed pretty poetic names."Ballet butterflies", "Moonlight", "Ermine mantle", "Piramidal", "snow storm", "Pearl" and others.
• Despite the fact that the plant is undemanding, there are a number of features that should be considered when planting. So, it is best should be planted in full sun in loose, fertile soil. Excessive moisture also does not like it, but when landing refuses fertilizing with manure or compost. Also don't forget to feed it every spring and after it Bud.
• In addition, the mock orange should be trimmed after flowering, removing young shoots, take the plants life force, and in the spring to remove broken over the winter branch. Every two or three years it is necessary to remove some old shoots in order to rejuvenate the Bush.
• For bouquets these flowers are not suitable, vase life, they quickly wither and crumble, but to decorate any garden or city Park, they can. But look how beautiful it looks in the garden!
• Well, that's all! The second task we will perform in the afternoon, and now let's run a race, and then going to lunch.
The guys quickly pulled away and disappeared outside the gate of the garden.
We too will be leaving them soon to come back again.
Thank you for your attention, see you next time!
