Today’s Flowers: Winter Bud

Rose of Sharon in winter
Rose of Sharon, dried out buds in the January sky

The sky really was this white on this day in mid-January. Today, in early February, we are having a thaw, and I looked outside for signs of crocuses. Maybe my neighbor’s snowdrops will come up soon? The ground is still too hard to plant peas, but I should order some new ones and some inoculant to plant with the pea seeds.

Beautiful capture! I love the pale brown and grey winter colours in your picture. And the crocusses will come soon!
