A Valentine Bouquet

Tuesday morning dawned sunny, very cold - 19f!

Everything seems to have survived the cold night just fine, including this crocus.

I promised a Valentine bouquet, and I think that there's enough blooming to make a nice bouquet including these Tete-a-tete daffodils.

And the roses, while not blooming, are busting out with new red growth.  Can you see it?

Here's a close up.

Love how this glows in the sunshine.

Currant budding out.

Primula.

Daphne.

Hellebore...

...and another one...

...and another one.

I've never had an issue with voles before, but my front flowerbeds have a large network of vole tunnels.

Bleeding Heart

Podophyllum

Trillium "Volcano"

In October I potted up a few bulbs: daffodils, narcissus, iris, and muscari.  I will soon have lots of color on the front porch.
