A big freeze has moved into the Mid-Atlantic, so I just don't feel like going out in the wicked artic winds and taking any garden photos for the monthly
Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. I did take some time earlier this week to trim all my Red Twig Dogwoods (
Cornus sericea) and make a tall bouquet for my sofa table. We wrote about Red Twig Dogwoods (and Yellow/Gold varieties) in
Washington Gardener Magazine's Winter issue last year. There are so many wonderful selections available from 'Artic Fire' to 'Winter Beauty.'
I'm in the midst of working on this year's Winter issue and it has been slow-going so far. With this early cold and unrelenting gray skies, it is just so hard to get motivated. Don't know about you all, but I want to spend my days curled up in bed with the cats, stacks of newspapers, and a good reality show. How do you all get through these shortest days of the year?
It aint flowers, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteI can usually wait until December 26th to curl up in an armchair... but then I want the table next to me to be littered with this year's seed catalogs!
ReplyDeleteis it real flower? it looks dying.
