Winter Survival Tips

| Flower Roberts

I am having to pull out all the stops on this blah day.

The rain shows no signs of stopping.

I must stay inside. I must stay up.

I will be staying near my giant blooms of ‘Pink Surprise.’

I will be drinking coffee out of my Barley cup.

I will be writing book reviews on gardening books.

I will thinking about spring.

That’s how a flower survives winter.

Raindrops on Rainbows

| Flower Roberts

I had to go outside today despite the cold and rain.

I have been pacing like a trapped animal in the house.

I was happy to see this colorful spurge, Euphorbia x martini.

Spurge Euphorbia x martini ‘Ascot Rainbow’

‘Ascot Rainbow’ is its variety name.

The raindrops added a nice touch of sparkle.

Thank goodness for some color on a dreary day.
