| Forsythia in the kitchen window |
The ground has been frozen solid for most of 2017, winter holds tight finally after warm temperatures the previous two winters. The winter blooming plants have been showing off for weeks anyway, they don't mind the cold.
 |
| Helleborus 'Cinnamon Snow' |
 |
| Helleborus 'Pink Frost' |
 |
| Last frosty blooms on the Camellia 'Yuletide' |
 |
| Pieris japonica, only a few blooms open |
A few plants are teasing with buds, but will be weeks before any real blooms.
 |
| Forsythia |
 |
| Oregon grape |
 |
| Probably a daffodil |
Indoors, my collection of African violets is multiplying, paperwhites continue to bloom, and the forsythia branch that I accidentally broke and brought in to force in a vase is cheering up my kitchen window.

Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Garden for hosting the monthly roundup of Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. It's nice to check out flowers from around the world in the dark of winter!
Lovely!

Your hellebores look very happy! And what a pretty collection of African violets! The rain has begun down here and we appear to be out of the freezing rain zone. Thank goodness, let the thaw begin! Happy GBBD!
