Весеннее цветение в парках Москвы: крокусы, подснежники и нарциссы
Moscow's parks are blooming with the first spring flowers.
During strolls in city parks, you can spot purple crocuses, snowdrops, daffodils, and hyacinths – a total of approximately 800,000 bulbs are in bloom across Moscow.
Preparations for the spring season began back in November, with landscape architects and agronomists planting bulbous crops and insulating flowerbeds with a special material that retains moisture and protects plants from the cold.
The Kolomenskoye museum-reserve will showcase over 300,000 bulbs, including various sorts of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and muscari. In Gorky Park, on Krymskaya Embankment, crocuses, daffodils, and irises are already in bloom, while purple crocuses have also appeared near Golitsyn Pond. By April, lungwort, corydalis, grape hyacinths, anemones, and lesser celandine will also emerge.
In Kuskovo, early spring flowers can be observed in different areas of the estate: snowdrops are growing near the Italian House, and crocuses are blooming in the parterre between the palace and the Large Stone Orangery. Along the games alley behind the Dutch House, snowdrops, crocuses, snowflakes, lungwort, and muscari are in flower. The garden by the Dutch House will later host tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, irises, and other spring plants.
Despite the deceptively warm weather in Moscow at the end of March, temperatures dropped significantly in April. Svetlana Samoilova, a lecturer for the "Horticulture" course for RZD gardeners and a blogger, explained how to protect plants from unexpected cold snaps.
