Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?

@wtg
Same here really, just a few patches of colour. And the rain, you wouldn't recognise Aysgarth Falls this last weekend.

Blooms all gone now but the buds on magnolia tree gives me hope for Spring!

@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.

@AdagioM I have that same Anemone. My fave!

[AndyD]

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.
