Coming Attractions
There’s a lot of cold/snowy/windy weather happening right now all over the country so I think a look at the coming attractions are in order.
These flowers and many others will be coming soon to a spring and summer near you!
Happy Tuesday. 🌼
January Roses
I found these little matador roses blooming merrily along in a protected little corner next to a walkway.
Such a lovely January find!
Happy Friday.
Something Different
Since it’s winter and a lot of us are experiencing rather grey and/or white conditions, it’s time for a bit of colour and brightness. Here are a few reminders of what’s coming our way.
Have a good day.
White Ash Berries
We have an abundance of these berries everywhere around town and with all the seasonal decorations now being packed away …
… these lend some much needed colour to our winter landscape.
Happy Sunday.
December Scenes
A little break in the rain …
… gives us some lovely December scenes.
Sleeping trees, plants and shrubs accompanied by ever hopeful ducks …
… with a pink-toned sky above a resting lake.
Happy Tuesday. 🎄
December 13’s Friday Fleurday
Because we’re in Victoria’s very temperate climate right now, we’re seeing lots of late-flowering plants and shrubs that are absolute December delights.
Happy Friday.
Winter Garden
Even though winter isn’t officially here yet, our local Japanese garden has entered its seasonal hiatus.
Despite that, or maybe because of that, it’s still a calming, contemplative place to walk or even to sit for a while.
The carp in the pond have disappeared into various spots to await spring, so the only activity is from a couple of duck pairs who quickly paddle toward anyone who comes by in hope of a handout.
The colours have all softened into their muted winter hues; everything is breathing slowly and restfully.
Happy Wednesday; I hope it’s a good one.
Ornamental Grasses
Autumn is soon ending and winter is officially starting on December 21, so there aren’t many of those lovely fall colours left, but they’re not completely gone.
There are lots of grasses still and some of them are beautiful. I find that this one almost looks like a weaving.
On second thought, it’s not so much the colour as the texture of these grasses that I find so appealing. We are suddenly getting some very cold winds, so seeing these lovely plants is somehow very comforting.
Happy weekend.
Early December
Happy Wednesday.
