Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - February 2019

Hamamelis 'Diane'

All of us who talked about what a mild winter we were having in January are surely to blame for the weather now. We already broke the all time record for snowfall for February in Seattle, and likely will end up with the coldest February on record. The snow is melting though, plants emerging a little bedraggled, a broken branch or two, but everything in my yard will recover. Spring is coming, just a little slower than I thought a month ago!

Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting this monthly meme so we can take vicarious pleasure in pictures from warmer climates, or perhaps have slight satisfaction in seeing that there's always someplace with worse weather.

Primroses are still buried

Indoors, one African violet is blooming, plus my newest plant baby, an anthurium:

What's next? Daffodils outside, amaryllises indoors!
