Winter Flowers for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day

Mahonia

Forsythia

It is Garden Blogger's Bloom Day again! On the 15th of each month, we gardeners with blogs share a few bloom photos from our gardens.

Here on the Mid-Atlantic USA (USDA zone 7) on the DC-MD border, the mild fall and December are long gone and winter has set in. No real snow yet, but my pond waterfall has iced over on a few nights and that has been enough to kill all the summer annuals and fall boomers that were hanging on until almost Christmas.

Blooming in my garden today are: Mahonia, Winter Jasmine, Hellebore, Heather, and a few premature Forsythia blossoms. Snowdrops should be coming soon as well as the early Daffodils.

What is blooming in your garden today?

A beautiful sunrise

The morning light was extraordinary in the way winter light can be - clear and reflective at the same time, without the mistiness of summer humidity.

This morning's red tints illuminated clouds above the ravine.

When I left later to walk, reflected light on the mountains in the distance was an unusual amber color. Beautiful.
