Today’s Flowers: Winter Bud
Rose of Sharon, dried out buds in the January sky The sky really was this white on this day in mid-January. Today, in early February, we are having a thaw, and I looked outside for signs of crocuses. Maybe my neighbor’s snowdrops will come up soon? The ground is still too hard to plant peas, but I should order some new ones and some inoculant to plant with the pea seeds.
I also posted rose of sharon today, but my shots are from last summer, so there is a lot more colour!!
But I love the shadows in your photo!!
Thanks for sharing!
Ilana-Davita, ooooops about that white square...one should be careful about posting a photo in a hurray. White square has now disappeared, I hope? Eeks!
Maria says
