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!
November Blossoms 2010-11-20 When I woke up this morning there was something unusual outside - sunshine! (it is gone now). I rushed outside with my camera and took this picture. This is "viburnum dawn", which blossoms from November through March. Since the fog/clouds unexpectedly disappeared in the night, we had a light frost or heavy dew. Thanks for your comments on my stork picture (actually the female and male share the parenting duties).
