February Blooms

It’s been a really mild winter, so far. There is activity in the garden, and those reliable things I’ve planted for winter color are coming through. Witch hazel, hellebores, jasmine, all providing a bit of relief from the browns and grays.

Witch hazel odd wispy blooms

Hellebores - a “faded” kind of color, even when fresh.
They are nice, seen close up.

My corner. The pin oak tree’s leaves will cling until April, when they will fall the same week the new leaves start opening.
