| Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane' |
I'm feeling rather pleased with myself for finally planting for winter interest last year, so there are quite a few blooms in my yard this January. Of course that makes me want to plant more, surely I have room for a few more witch hazels and another patch of hellebores?
Yesterday was bright and sunny with record high temperature of 57F, but I hope the plants know it's not spring yet. I'm betting we'll have more cold weather to come.
Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting this monthly roundup of blooms. There are plants blooming somewhere every month!

What's next? More hellebores, and I'm excited to have snowdrops coming up (and so far not eaten by the wildlife).
Your winter interest is smashing. Lovin ever bloom. Happy GBBD.
