Cute pink mini rose in one of the front beds:
Purple mum-blooms peeping out from "fo-litch". I cut this mum back at the end of summer when it was all dry and ldggy and now it's blooming at the base of its stalks:
Pumpkin-orange gerbera daisy--right next to mum--nice color combo. This is in a little border right up next to the house so pretty sheltered:
Heuchera 'Caramel'--this is in a pot on the patio with a maple tree (I have some very large pots with some cold-hardy things that are staying outside and just getting covered with a plastic sheet when it goes below freezing):
Bloomin' Alternanthera (in the greenhouse):

These pics are amazing!! (Ain't nothin' blooming around here!!) Keep 'em coming - they are so soothing!!!
Things have been crazy here - but I've been meaning to thank you for the little "books and tea" fairy you sent - LOVE it! She's hanging right above my desk, for luck. (Sprout and I meant to get Christmas cards out this year - and well, it just didn't happen. But we were thinking of you!)
Right, I'm going to feast my eyes on those beautimous flowers some more . . . thanks Vic! :)
No probs! Do tell what's going on with you up there in the cold North when you can come up for air.
Love the photos, Vic; please keep posting them.
You once mentioned a gerbera daisy surviving the winter there, I think. Is that usual?
A
WEll, that one survived in my compost heap, which is sandwiched between a wood fence and a shed, so pretty sheltered. I moved it back into the garden and it is there now covered in mulch. The foliage died back the other week when it got in the upper twenties, but the one I planted this fall in the front (that's the orange one) still has all its foliage. I'm crossing my fingers that they both survive, meaning--if they both end up dying back to the root that they will come back when the nights are warmer. The ones in the greenhouse of course are gangbusters right now.
Well, that's very cool. I hope they make it for you.
