Late bloomers

 Are these the last roses from 2024? They have been through several frosts already, but they bravely give color to welcome patients to my pulmonologist's office.




While nearby Hydrangeas are in their dormant and still interesting stage!



And some industrious landscape-wise person has looked ahead to the months of cold, grey skies and frosts to plant these hardy little ones.

    1. Hi AC/John! I've almost always pre-posted at 3 am. My nightime waking is usually around 4.

    1. Sometimes we have very warm weather in December, but I guess not this year. Those pansies, seem pretty hardy.

    1. I missed getting snow this time, and took the geranium down from the balcony rail...those leaves still look alive, after being frozen for several days and nights! What's going on here?

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
