Beautiful, Don! It is good to re-visit the garden when it's cold and dreary out, motivates one to plan for spring, which surely shall come.
Happy New Year to you, glad to see you.

Beautiful plants and photo.
DD and DS are great hikers and send me photos of their hikes. I made each of them a desk calendar using their photos and they loved them. Both of them said it was a great way to remember their hikes and looking forward to their 2014 hikes.
Nice to see you here again, Jim.

Lovely! I am already counting the days until my flowers return. They are almost like a pet that I miss. The crocuses should be open in six weeks. The camellias and oregon grape have fat buds but the hellebores have yet to put in an appearance.
