Flowers In Winter

Confidence, below, at the front end of winter.
 A few flowers to dress-up the teak patio furniture, bare of cushions.
A good wager with our mild winter.  But you never know what's ahead & it's good to see spunk.

Pics taken last week in a client garden.  She's getting a potager with amended soil & a compost area.  Notice her flooring, above?  The swimming pool was filled in and the pool decking was kept.  The green grass you see had been water.

I haven't done annuals in winter for over a decade.  Instead, relying upon camellia, tea olive, daphne, helleborus, mahonia, kerria, rosmary to bloom, and bloom, and bloom......

The beauty of having them in pots is that they can be brought into shelter if really bad weather threatens them.

It must be nice to have flowers blooming and green plants and grass looking beautiful this time of year. I guess it's not that far off from us here in Kansas but I'm 'chewing at the bit' to get started playing in the dirt here. Have fun!
