Yes! Gives me hope for Spring!

We just got about 2 inches of snow and temps will be going down for the coming week so I will photo when everything melts. It might not be until Feb. I could see that teeeeeny white flower from my kitchen window.I almost couldnt believe it until I checked my files fron 3 years back and sure enough late January is the earliest I have images for.

Jo Ann, So there is hope of spring. A few of my daffodils are emerging but that's about it. I do have viburnum 'Dawn' and a witch hazel blooming, they smell so good.
So foggy here.

My Witchazel has fat buds but it has been really cold here .I doubt it will bloom as early as a few years ago when spring was 3 weeks early.

My sniffer isn't working, but I would love to have those on my table blooming. Such a beautiful sight this time of year!!

Those are very nice! I love cyclamen but have never had any luck with it. Are those the dwarf iris? Love those!

I had some but forgot to plant them. They are still in the refrigerator. I think it has been a year, so I will just order more, after I plant the 100 bulbs that I already have. LOL.

Oh my .. those are beautiful! Camellias are on my list of perennial plants I want to landscape when I move into my new house.

They are lovely plants, and provide some wonderful blooms at this time of year when not much else is blooming.
