Sweet Alyssum

Producing mounds of tiny, fragrant flowers in pink, white, or lavender, sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima) is a favorite cool-season flower for garden beds and containers. It's usually grown as an annual, but is a short-lived perennial in Zones 9 and warmer. It can withstand temperatures down to about 28° F if well established.

Calendula

The cheery yellow, cream, or orange blossoms of calendula (Calendula officinalis) light up a garden. Also known as pot marigold (though not related to marigolds), calendula flowers are edible. The peppery petals may be used as a garnish for salads or stirred into cream cheese or dips. For the best winter show, look for newer varieties that have better cold tolerance and a longer bloom time such as 'Winter Wonders Amber Arctic'.

Honeywort

This may be the most unusual-looking winter-blooming flower. Native to the Mediterranean, honeywort (Cerinthe major purpurascens) has silvery blue-green leaves and blue-purple tubular flowers and bracts. Honeywort is considered a hardy annual or short-lived perennial, depending on where it grown. It blooms in winter in Zones 9 and warmer. In Zones 7-8 it can be planted in fall for an early spring bloom. The plant can tolerate light frosts but a hard freeze will kill it.

Sweet Peas

Annual sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus)  prefers cool temperatures to bloom, but won't survive hard freezes. Keep the flowers blooming in winter by mulching the plants well and covering them during frosts. Some varieties are earlier flowering, such as the Winter Sunshine and Winter Elegance series, both of which can bloom through winter in the warmest regions of Texas, California, and Florida.

Pansies

Pansies (Viola x wittrockiana) are the reliable standbys for cool-weather blossoms. Their engaging "faces," or top petals, come in bold or pastel colors. Remove spent flowers to promote repeat blooming. Although they're technically perennials, pansies tend to be short-lived because they don't tolerate heat well (some varieties are more heat-tolerant than others). Pansies will bloom all winter in warmer climates.

Pinks

Pinks (Dianthus species and hybrids) are named not for their color—although many are pink—but for their serrated leaves, which look like someone cut them with pinking shears. The blooms often smell like an aromatic spice, such as nutmeg or cloves. Many types of these short-lived perennials, including China pinks (Dianthus chinensis), grow in 6- to 12-inch mounds of grasslike blue-green foliage. Sweet William (D. barbatus) reaches up to 2 feet. Cheddar pinks (Dianthus gratianopolitanus) and maiden pinks (Dianthus deltoides) are also part of the family.

Winter Jasmine

You'll love the early burst of color from winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum), a fast-growing evergreen shrubby plant that's native to Tibet and China. This cold-weather perennial offers an abundance of creamy-yellow flowers that bloom on bare stems in January or February. While it is the hardiest member of the jasmine family, it is not fragrant.

Hellebore

Blooming in late winter, hellebores  (Helleborus spp.) are tough perennial plants that are also sometimes called winter roses. The flowers come in white, yellow, pink, maroon, chartreuse, and bicolored. While the flowers typically hang downward, newer varieties boast flowers that face upwards so are easier to see.

Honeywort

This may be the most unusual-looking winter-blooming flower. Native to the Mediterranean, honeywort (Cerinthe major purpurascens) has silvery blue-green leaves and blue-purple tubular flowers and bracts. Honeywort is considered a hardy annual or short-lived perennial, depending on where it grown. It blooms in winter in Zones 9 and warmer. In Zones 7-8 it can be planted in fall for an early spring bloom. The plant can tolerate light frosts but a hard freeze will kill it.

Wtedy to na bezlistnych pędach pojawiają się bardzo atrakcyjne kwiaty. Kolorystyka kwiatów jest bardzo zróżnicowana, w zależności od odmiany są to kwiaty dwubarwne z oczkiem o wyrazistych kolorach (np. biało- czerwone, żółto-czerwone) lub jednobarwne (np. białe, żółte, łososiowe, karminowe, czerwone, bordowe). Długość kwitnienia można przedłużać poprzez systematyczne usuwanie przekwitniętych kwiatów. Piękny nachyłek przyciągający wzrok, który powinien się znaleźć na każdej bylinowej rabacie. Dodatkowo ze względu na niski, kompaktowy wzrost nadaje się do wysadzania w pojemnikach. Nie znosi nadmiaru wilgoci i zacienionych stanowisk. Dobrze rośnie tylko w pełnym słońcu, na umiarkowanie wilgotnym, piaszczysto - gliniastym podłożu. Na zimę wymaga okrycia.

Honeybunch Red and Gold

The Coreopsis 'Honeybunch Red & Gold'  is a robust flowering perennial that will delight you all summer long with its flamboyant red and yellow suns. With its fine dark green foliage, it is undemanding and hardy, and will brighten up your sunny rockeries in any light and well-drained soil. It only requires a bit of deadheading to stay in top shape and also performs excellently in pots.

The 'Red & Gold' coreopsis belongs to the large family of Asteraceae and is part of a genus widely used in gardens: it includes both large species (Coreopsis grandiflora) and small rock plants. These species are mainly native to bright clearings and meadows in North America, where they thrive on relatively poor but well-drained soils. They all produce lovely "sunflower-like" flowers, mostly in golden yellow tones, but more recently also in pale yellow, pink and red. The small species with narrow leaves have given rise to many hybrids that are not always very reliable: they fade after a few years or are sensitive to cold.
The 'Red & Gold' coreopsis is part of the 'Honeybunch' hybrid series, distinguished by its neat and regular dome-shaped habit. From June to October, it produces a mass of yellow flowers with a red base on a dense and compact shrub that does not exceed 25 cm (10in) in height and 40 cm (16in) in diameter. It spreads slowly through short rhizomes just below the soil surface.
Resistant and hardy, 'Red & Gold' will thrive in full sun in any slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil, and it requires good drainage  to develop properly: in heavy and waterlogged winter soil, its longevity will be greatly reduced. It tolerates summer drought once established. To achieve long and regular flowering, remember to remove faded flowers from time to time: this will stimulate the production of new flower buds, even in autumn if the weather permits. In overly rich soil, the plant may also become a bit floppy: trim the shrub in July to encourage branching and the formation of new flowers closer to the ground. Due to its compact size and undemanding nature, 'Red & Gold' coreopsis is also an excellent variety for container gardening.
You can plant it in rockeries, alongside small perennials that appreciate similar conditions such as Bertram Anderson lemon thyme, Caucasian rock cress Bakkely, mountain alyssum, or graceful grasses like Amethyst fescue.

Honey badger (Mellivora capensis)

Honey badgers are not the strongest animals in the world in terms of size or pure force. They weigh just 30 pounds and have an 11-inch shoulder height. However, these temperamental animals are unafraid to take on larger animals, including lions. 

They eat honey, berries, vegetables, monkeys, and poisonous snakes. Their skin is both thick and loose. The thickness protects them from predator bites and bee stings, while the looseness allows them to twist their way out of a predator's grip.

The honey badger is possibly the toughest animal in the world. It is largely resistant to snake venom.

European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)

The European honey bee, also known as the Western honey bee, holds a unique place in history. This insect was domesticated some five millennia ago. To this day, beekeepers maintain this species for honey production and pollination. Thanks to human aid, it now thrives on every continent, Antarctica aside.
