Spring Abloom in Winter

February 10, 2018 by susanpots 1 Comment

Violets bloom all winter long here.
They look beautiful in the snow,
but no snow this year, so far.
These blossoms have naturalized in many of my beds.

Bergenia are early bloomers here, also.
They grow on the sheltered east side of my house,
protected from deer.

Hellebore are also growing in a sheltered east-facing area.
The ferns came up naturally,
and keep these flowers shaded.
While the white flowers are in full bloom,
the pink ones are just beginning.

from a warmer area in the yard.
