      Hydrangea when dying back into plum & claret colours are often nicer than the flowers.

      Here's my Christmas cactus this morning

      @AndyD Beautiful! Our Christmas cactus is blooming, too. It likes its sunny window.

        The one thing I do before posting pictures is run them through an image sizing app, so it’s only a couple hundred KB instead of 4 MB each. Trying not to make them costly for the forum to host.

          @AndyD Beautiful! I envy you having bush sized Fuchsia. Here, they are sold as potted plants and only last the summer.

          I really need to get some Hellebores. They're pricey, though.

            There are still a few Japanese anemones blooming, but not many.

            And the blue June hydrangeas are a fun purple. Not really blooming, just waiting to get frosted.

              Woke up to heavy snow falling and minus 1 temperatures, so it'll be helibores only till spring. Winter came early!

                As much as I love the growing season, I also enjoy the peacefulness of winter. It's a time to cocoon and regenerate energy for the next spring and summer.

                Of course I say that as a retired person who doesn't have to go out in the snow to get to work.

                  Ha! There is something blooming around here after all.

                  Mr wtg and I went for a brief walk which took us past our friends' house, and lo and behold, their witch hazel is in fragrant full bloom!! I smelled it before I saw it.

                  I love both the scent and the delicate spidery-looking flowers.

                          My snowdrops finally started blooming this past week, about three weeks later than they did the last couple of (very warm) winters.

                          I was afraid my chives might not have made it through our extended deep freeze, but they are coming up.

                            I know some of you in the North and East of the US are enduring snowy storms so here's something colourful to look forward to.

                            These in the garden pale in comparison to the local councils planting hundreds together in roadside beds.

                                Not exactly a bloom, but we emerged from winter this week and I found this little tree. Yikes!

                                IMG-5311.jpg

                                It’s a dwarf weeping Altas Cedar. It came through the winter of β€˜24-β€˜25 just fine, but the cold snap this winter may have killed it. What? Don’t cedars grow in Alaska and stuff?

                                Nursery guy says it’s probably fine - that it will drop the brown needles and grow new ones. Sure enough, the branches are still pliable so maybe there is hope.

                                    @bernard As I've said in other threads, I've since discovered we're also in a drought. It's getting worse. It makes sense, in retrospect, because not only did we not have any storms during hurricane season, we had the least amount of rain last year in eight years as far as I can tell. I had almost no weeds in the rock garden. I had to weed it a few times. The previous year, the weeds grew up past my knees and kind bent over. I'm guess this was some type of grass. The plastic under the rock beds is almost as old as time. I won't have to weed again. I'll have moved long before it becomes necessary.

                                    Oahu, on the other hand, is having catastrophic flooding.
