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

@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!

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.

Nothing.

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.
