I still have plants flowering in my yard in December...not usual...

I live in the Seattle area. It has been chilly off and on....but really quite mild over all for this time of year. I have some flowering plants in the ground coming up and plants in pots still blooming..... very odd. IMG_0176.JPGIMG_0177.JPG

I live in the Seattle area also and while I don't have anything flowering I still have a lot of green.  I was out there today cutting down daisies and clematis and I have more to go.

@SeaMaiden Pretty gardens even though it’s winter. I still have some green in the garden but not much.

 

Enjoy as long as you can.

One of the reasons why I enjoy living here in southwest Florida as I can do gardening year round. Here is a blossom from my Monet Hibiscus plant that I brought inside.

So pretty!

 

I have lots of Encore azaleas, a couple of camellias, and several roses blooming now.  My goal is to have something blooming year round.

I live in Pennsylvania. it's been terrrinly cold here ..20's and 30's.  I was in my sister's yard yesterday and was surprised that she had three red roses blooming and two buds unopened on her rose bush.

 

Some of my neighbors still have mums blooming, but mine are all dried up.  I wish I lived where I could enjoy flowers all year around.

You sure do -- makes it extra special to gaze upon.
