Plante cataratoare

Eh, si ce mi-am dorit, s-a intamplat! Am primit prima cerinta de post de la Ceska. Ea are un panou pe balcon si vrea sa il imbrace cu una sau mai multe plante cataratoare. I-am spus ca ma gandesc la variante si o anunt.

Eh, what I wanted for, it's happened! I received the first request from Ceska. She has a board on the balcony and she wants to cover it with some climbing plants. I told her that I will think about some options and I let her know.

Domeniul "plante cataratoare" este un domeniu vast, cu multe variante si optiuni.

"Climbing plants" domain is large and vast, with many options.

Daca vreti sa cresteti plante pentru frunze, iedera (genul Hedera) este o alegere excelenta. Face frunze mici, se ingrijeste usor si se poate tunde. Dar nu se poate lasa iarna afara, daca este crescuta in ghiveci, pentru ca ii pot degera radacinile. Daca o plantati in gradina, atunci e ideala pentru crearea de umbrare langa un spalier, o pergola sau chiar langa un foisor.

If you want to grow plants for leaves, iedera (Hedera regn) it is an excellent choice. Has small leaves, you can take care of it very easily and you can cut it. But you can't keep it in the winter outside, if you have it in a pot, because the roots can freeze. If you plant it in the garden, it's an ideal plant for a natural shadow near a trellis or a garden wooden tower.

Mi-ar placea sa am in gradina sau chiar pe terasa/balcon o floare care se citeste mai usor decat se scrie - bougainvillea. Sunt multe varietati, cu coloristica diferita, de la alb la mov intens, trecand prin rosu aprins.

I would love to have in the garden or even on a balcony a flower with a name easier to pronounce than to write - bougainvillea. There are a lot of varietes, with different colours, strarting with white and ending with hot purple, through bright red.

Ceskai i-as recomanda iasomia, pentru ca este foarte frumoasa. Face flori albe, superbe, dar, mai important, miroase extraordinar. Sau zorelele, care au un nume foarte ciudat in latina, imopoea. Evident, si aici sunt mai multe soiuri, in functie de culoare si de durata deschiderii florilor pe parcursul zilei. De-a lungul gardului din spatele casei, in stanga si in dreapta trandafirilor cataratori, am plantat seminte de zorele, "furate" de la ai mei din gradina de catre finuta mea.

To Ceska I will recommend jasmine, because it is very beautiful. It has superb white flowers, but, most important, it smells divine. Or morning glory with an odd latin name, imopoea. Of course, we can find different species, depending on colour or the duration of the flowers during a day. In the back of my house, near the fence, to the right and to the left from climbing roses, I planted some morning glory seeds, "stolen" from my parents garden by my goddaughter.

Pentru gradina, ce am facut eu alaltaieri, recomand plantarea unor trandafiri cataratori. Am un geam imens in living (ma rog, am doua, dar unul dintre ele ma intereseaza in mod deosebit), si am vrut sa vad florile de trandafir stand pe canapea. Ca atare, am facut 2 gropi adanci, am curatat de buruieni pamantul din jur, am pus nisip pe fundul lor si l-am amestecat cu pamant. Apoi am pus trandafirii, care deja dadusera frunze multe in casa, am adus inapoi pamantul si i-am udat din abundenta. I-am plantat in spatele casei, dar intr-o zona extrem de vizibila din interior, dupa cum spuneam mai sus.

For the garden, what I've done the other day, I recommend climbing roses. I have a huge window in my living (well, I have two huge windows, but in one of them I have a particular interest) and I wanted to see the roses while I sit on my couch. So, I made 2 deep holes, I clean the weeds, I put sand on the bottom of the holes and I blend it with the ground. Then I put the roses, with many leaves already, in a visible area from inside, as I said earlier.

In curte mai avem inca 2 trandafiri cataratori, unul rosu si unul alb, plantati chiar langa foisor. Dani a cumparat 2 spaliere de lemn si le-a montat pe foisor, iar acestia au fost directionati catre baza spalierelor. Acum am plantat inca unul alb si unul galben. Ce imi place la acesti trandafiri: florile sunt foarte mari si frumoase, trandafiri batuti, cum spunem popular. Ce nu imi place la ei: florile nu tin mult si se scutura, dar "covorul" de petale este interesant cateva zile, pana cand se usuca si se face maroniu.

In the garden we have another two climbing roses, red and white, planted near garden wooden tower. Dani bought 2 wooden trellises and mounted on the garden wooden tower, and the roses were directed to the base of the trellises. Now I planted yellow and white roses. What I like about these roses: the flowers are very big and beautiful. What I don't like about them: the flowers are not last for long. The petals "carpet" is interesting for a few days, but then is brown and ugly.
