Today’s Flowers: Snowdrops

https://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snowdrops.jpg

I took this photo last week, before the snow. Today, one week later, all our snow is gone! Part of me is sad, but then, the birds are happy and chirping; they are announcing: spring! Yesterday I walked past a different neighbor whose snowdrops had already formed blooms. For more flowers, visit:

I took this photo of a dried sedum flower a block away from my house a few days ago. Here’s a sedum flower I photographed last September. I believe this is “Showy Stonecrop” or Sedum spectabile. I would like to try growing this flower in my garden this summer. For more flowers, visit:

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 […]

We received these carnations from a friend who was visiting I enjoyed photographing them. I later tossed a few in my front yard for some outdoor photographs. You may remember my carnation on a sidewalk. Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for this lovely and fun meme. .

Today’s Flowers in Winter

https://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/heather-466x350.jpg

This is the last flower I can find on my block. It is in a neighbor’s front yard, a neighbor who has many perennials planted in front of her house instead of grass. I believe this is a kind of heather of the family Erica. Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, […]
