I was surprised to find some Hellebores that were open, always hard to photograph because of their tendency to weep-
A riot of lichens and moss on some apple trees in need of pruning-
Catkins in full bloom on some hazelnut trees-
The reliable winter bloom of heather Erica carnea-
The refreshing lemon burst of variegated Elaeagnus x ebbingei 'Gilt Edge', which is not phased at all by cold or snow-
And finally a tiny 1" indoor bloom on my Maxillaria tenuifolia-
Well, only a little more than a month left until spring, yippee!

OMG...those Geranium leaves are so pretty...I absolutely love them...do you know what the species is?
ReplyDeleteScott- I'm not really sure which wild Geranium they are, I looked at the photos on my favorite native plant site and this seemed the closest, I see the middle leaf blade sticking straight up like these, but thought I remembered the blooms as darker and smaller-
