The flowers that endure and endure and endure the cold are impressive.
Oh, excuse me. I’m not the one to call myself, but I’m a freesia fairy, I’m Fumiko. Did you know Freesia? Well, if you say the name, it seems that there was such a flower, it seems that there was no such flower, isn’t it? Yes, that’s fine. It’s not major like sunflowers and tulips, and it’s not gorgeous like roses. It has a “moderate” presence, which is what I am and freesia. However, I really like that positioning. Inconspicuous and no noise. It’s good to be crowded with people and grass (what am I saying).

Well, for the time being, I was in the Iridaceae family. I’m a friend of Iris and Narcissus, so the shape of the leaves is a bit like that. The planting time is late autumn, and although it is said that it is a companion who goes through the winter, it is not so cold-resistant. “You can go through the winter?” “No, there’s nothing I can’t do, but I’m not that good at it …” “Then I’m in charge of over the winter!” It’s such a daily life that I’m suffering because I’m in charge of winter just because “it never happens”. It feels good or weak … Life is painful.
- 10/3 startPlant the bulbsFumiko
Can you call this a bulb! ?? I’m sorry that the potatoes seem to be bad.
- 10/11Germination!Fumiko
The buds sprout unexpectedly quickly! I’m sorry it looks like weeds. It is often mistaken for weeds and is likely to be picked.
- 10/18The leaves start to growFumiko
The thin one grows at a fairly high speed. It’s like a sword stuck in the ground. Suddenly there is only one leaf.
- 10/25Two leavesFumiko
V sign! The temperature is still warm, so I can afford to make such a joke.
- 11/13 leavesFumiko
I’m sorry for the progress like Ushiho, one by one.
- 11/8Leaves growFumiko
What is this title! Please do not say. It’s a freesia because it’s still relaxing just to see the growth.
- 11/154 leavesFumiko
We are really making steady progress. I’m afraid
- 11/22Stop growingFumiko
Yes, this is the end of my freesia growth. By the time she heard the voice of December, she wasn’t very fit for the cold because she was about to enter the winter with just a few leaves.
- 11/29Not growingFumiko
It’s hard now. What’s so hard, what should I talk about every week from here until it overwinters and blooms in spring! ?? Considering that, it seems that I can’t sleep at night.
- 12/12Not growingFumiko
I finally entered December, but it hasn’t changed by a millimeter. I’m sorry
- 12/20Not growingFumiko
Nothing has changed as I fainted since last week. I’m afraid!
- 12/27Not growingFumiko
Nothing changes, including the dead leaves that have come to your feet. However, I wonder what it is, and I hope that you will feel “unchangeable happiness” as the world changes steadily. I’m afraid
- 1/3Not growingFumiko
The new year has come. Happy new year. We look forward to working with you again this year without any changes.
- 1/10Not growingFumiko
It’s really boring, so I tried changing the shooting position, but nothing changed at the fundamental part. Not bad.
- 1/24Not growing! !!Fumiko
How about now? It is the coldest time of the year. By the way, since this cultivated area is a relatively warm place, it is planted outdoors, but usually it is necessary to protect against the cold, such as measures against frost.
- 1/31Not growingFumiko
With gratitude to you for not stopping reading and patiently reading this far, this time from a slightly above angle. However, the fact that it has not grown by a millimeter remains unchanged.
- 2/14Power downFumiko
Cold rain falls in the low temperature of midwinter. When it gets wet with water, the temperature drops further and it becomes very weak.
- 2/21RecoverFumiko
In the latter half of February, the number of warm days will start to increase, so I’m stuck.
- 2/28Not growingFumiko
I’m sorry I’m not fine
- 3/7Weak in the rainFumiko
It’s March. The rain and wind are intense at the turn of the season. Have you ever been?
- 3/14New leaves!Fumiko
Is it the first time in a month? It seems that winter has passed somehow, but I’m sorry for the appearance that seems to be difficult.
- 3/20New leaves start to increaseFumiko
Even if it increases, there are only two, but basically it is a small number of elite people to do their best, and I hope you understand that it is a way of life for freesia.
- 3/28New leaves growFumiko
I’m still living as if I’m crawling on the ground, but I feel that the whole thing has become a little more tense.
- 4/4The bud came outFumiko
In April, one day in spring when the petals of cherry blossoms were scattered, it suddenly came. A small bud like a rice ear. When did you get it? You can do it suddenly.
- 4/11Bud swellsFumiko
6 buds in 1 bunch. Quite gorgeous. Even so, it is often said that the number of leaves often causes buds. It is a unique freesia ecology with more buds than leaves.
- 4/18A red flower bud came outFumiko
Freesia, which has a long time from bud formation to flowering, is self-paced. Freesia has a variety of flower colors such as white, yellow, red, pink, magenta, mauve, and orange. By the way, the flower language of red freesia is “chastity”. It fits.
- 4/23Flowering!Fumiko
I managed to make a flower. Along with the four-character idioms such as hardship and hardship, the days of agony that I have endured for half a year go around my mind like a magic lantern. Enjoy the vibrant flower color and scent that survived the cold, which you are not very good at.
Bulbs are planted from late autumn and bloom in spring after a winter, but cold resistance is not so strong, so cold protection such as frost measures is required during the cold season.
Cultivation difficulty:★★☆☆☆
