the crocus, before the deer ate them all.

yesterday's over 6" of snowfall was a big setback for the garden, but otherwise fun.

if you look at the archives for this time last year, you can see that this little clump of crocus is blooming earlier this year. also, now i have a much better camera for these close ups, so i can do the clump proud!

hammamelis "diana" is blooming this week.

the aloinopsis schoonesii i bought on a trip to logee's with my sibs is blooming this week!

the harry lauder walking stick a few days ago, taken by my husband.
