Lush and green in May 

In the case of the oleander bush planted out in the meadow: there is splendid new green growth, the flower clusters are already large, and some of the blossoms will open during the next few days. The tent of plastic sheeting is still covering it, certainly; it’s very simple, on a sunny day it gets so warm inside that it naturally  needs to be opened; during the night, the bush is protected. Once the "Eisheiligen"  (the ice–saints’ days, i.e. the last possible frost dates) have passed, then the tent can be removed.
