Flowers in Winter


Yuletide Camellias

 

My Yuletide Camellias started blooming in November and were still blooming at the end of December. This photo was taken in my backyard on Christmas Eve 2023. Even after some bitter weather and snow in here in Northern Virginia, they finished blooming near the end of January. They are surrounded by other bushes next to the house and get sun all afternoon. So they are in a micro climate that I suspect helps their long bloom.  



Pansies


I have three pots of pansies on my deck railing that I planted in the fall.  This pot still has flowers, in February, although this photo was taken on December 14, 2023.


I am starting to watch my yard plantings now that we are in February, as they will slowly be coming to life
