- Besides our white and pink Camellias, we have also some yellow in our garden. Our Leatherleaf Mahonia Berberidaceae is blooming right now.
- Look what a beauty in our garden, on the edge where the creek streams.
- Also the Wintersweet - Chimonanthus praecox (Calycanthus p.) (C. fragrans) is blooming mid winter, see further below...
- Blooms of the Leatherleaf Mahonia Berberidaceae (barberry Family)
- This shrub grows on the edge of our garden, alongside the creek where we also planted mondo grass to prevent it from erosion.
- You can see the water from the creek...

ReplyDeleteHow nice to have such pretty flowers blooming this time of year! I'll bet the wintersweet has a lovely scent. It is very unusual. I have a few winter pansies blooming, but they are frozen right now. It is cooooold! Enjoy your pretty flowers, Mariette! Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteDearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletehow wonderful are those blooming plants in your garden!
Well, I had a Hellebore blooming, wonderful as never before....now she is coverd with snow! We had more snow last night!
Have a lovely week, enjoy your flowers in the garden,
Love and hugs

Hoi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteFantastisch om zo'n mooie Winterbloeier in je tuin te hebben!!!
Hier ligt op dit moment alles onder een dikke witte winterdeken met -6 graden vorst.
Mooi maar koud en geen bloemetje te zien, misschien wat ijsbloemen op de ramen;-)
Geniet van het zachte weer daar bij jullie,veel beter voor de mens.
Liefs,Ger
Dearest Mariette,

Hallo Mariette,
ReplyDeletedie einzelnen Blüten sehen ja wunderschön aus. Bei uns blüht nur noch der Winterjasmin, die Christrosen und Schneeglöckchen sind unter der Schneedecke verschwunden.
Schöne Grüße, Johanna

ReplyDeleteYou are so very fortunate to live where you have flowers blooming outside in January! Thanks for posting the prettiness!

You are having similar temperatures to us right now. Normally my balconies are both very green and beautiful during winter but not this year. Not sure why but things seem rather stagnant right now. Your flowers are both unique and very pretty. Have a wonderful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteWas für wundervolle Blüten, liebe Mariette.
ReplyDeleteübrigens meinte ich natürlich nicht Stiefmütterchen sondern Hornveilchen -
sie sind robust -
ich wünsche dir einen gemütlichen entspannten Abend -
liebe Grüße - Ruth

What a lovely plant it is! The weather in your Georgia must be warm for a plant like that to flour. We are having snow in Holland. It looks absolutely magical.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!

Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the same nice flowers, but here we have a lot of snow instead.
Maybe I can make a snowman in the garden instead of flowers :)
Hugs

Dearest Mariette, This is truly a beautiful plant by the stream. We have been having some strange weather around here. My forsythia is blooming but just a wee bit early. I will take a picture of it in a couple of days. Things have been busy around here. Loads of doctor appts but just the normal checkup things.
ReplyDeleteLove to all, Ginger
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWow, very beautiful yellow flowers♡♡♡ They sure must be strong for the coldness and of course with your care☆☆☆ First for me to enjoy these amazing flowers.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
