Flowering Season 2011-03-09 A shot from a large bush. Florida has had a very dry winter, so many plants are not yet blossoming (but the trees are putting out record levels of pollen). I'd appreciate any comments on the tone - on my laptop screen this shot looks dark and dull - on the TV screen it glows.

Frosty Morning 2010-12-5 Our Viburnum Dawn, still trying to flower from November to March. After three days of heavy snowfall, this morning was -10C with freezing fog. Still, this bush is the only spot of color in the garden. We get such (for us) extreme weather once every 15 years or so. P.S. The background is just the sky, with a touch of blue added by me. Thanks for the comments on my pick from the archives!

Christmas Cactus 2010-11-26 Purchased a week ago, it is doing well on the dining room table. Perhaps it should be renamed to "advent cactus". Enjoy the day!
