In bloom this week: January 4, 2017

Chimonanthus or wintersweet

Happy New Year! January brings dreams of spring to gardeners, and I have started planning for a couple of projects. But I like winter and I was happy to wake up on New Year's Day to a couple of inches of snow. It's been very cold so there is still snow on the ground in my back yard.

Some of these pictures are from December 31 and some are from January 1. Pretty easy to guess which are which. It is nice to have a few flowers outside in the middle of the winter!

Pieris japonica, just a few blooms are open
