After warming up (in August), hazel grouse can be planted again.
Still, the first spring bulbous flowers are a real miracle of nature. On the snow-covered ground they break through the frost and delight us with the first notes of spring, and the subsequent May and April flowers amaze the imagination with their lush and vibrant blooms.
