Oh, it’s spring!

When I was planting the six Primula juliae that we got for 200 yen, I found some natural sprouts of H. corsicus (a wild-type Christmas rose).
I still feel chilly, but it has became spring.

Ninety percent of them can’t survive the summer heat so I wonder how many of them can survive!?
(By the way, it takes about three years for them to bloom. We had one naturally sprouted Corsicus that died suddenly in its second summer, so we haven’t seen a self-seeded Corsicus in bloom yet.)
