| Wintersweet, unknown variety of chimonanthus |
As usual, I have no idea where last year went! At the end of every year, I think about how to have less stress and more enjoyment in my life, and spending time outside is a big part of that. I took my first walk of the year around the yard this morning, with gloves on to pull a few weeds and clippers in hand for some light cleanup. Starting the year off right!
Winter is all about witch hazel, hellebores and camellias, and so much more:
 |
| Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane' is just getting started |
 |
| Dawn viburnum is starting to fade |
 |
| Helleborus 'Cinnamon Snow' will bloom for months |
 |
| Other hellebores are just starting, if they survive the slugs... |
 |
| Helleborus 'Pink Frost' |
 |
| Camellia 'Winter's Snowman' |
 |
| Camellia 'Yuletide' is later this year |
 |
| Cyclamen coum |
 |
| Sarcococca almost but not quite blooming |
 |
| Snow drops are coming up |
And a few fall flowers hanging on!
 |
| Daisies |
 |
| Lewisia |
 |
| Fuchsia 'Delta's Sara' - a few buds froze but new ones are out |
Is spring just around the corner?! Some of these plants may regret their enthusiasm, although it has certainly been a mild winter so far.
 |
| Hydrangea buds |
 |
| One peony is sprouting |
 |
| I think these are an early tulip |
 |
| Daffodils |
 |
| Foxglove seedlings, and weeds |
