Winter Gardens

I’ve lived in Rochester, New York and Germantown, Maryland before moving to the Bay Area here in California. One of my favorite hobbies used to be looking for splashes of colorful flowers amidst white snow! I miss this terribly, even if I feel fortunate to enjoy everything else California has to offer me. I bet that several of you are currently experiencing snowfall and clean, frosty landscapes. Isn’t it amazing to see such beautiful, vibrant flowers thrive in sub zero temperatures? Sure makes for a pretty picture!

  1. I love the pops of red against the snow – so beautiful I used to live in the Midwest and do miss these also. Thank you for sharing with Share It One More Time. Cathy

  2. My husband and I lived in New York and I agree with you — finding a splash of living color in the snow was a real pleasure. Beautiful pics!

  3. Looks fabulous. The pictures are really awesome. I really wonder that these flowers are stunning at zero temperature. I would like to visit the place with family. Thanks for sharing.

  4. those are such pretty pics. I live in a very cold state full of snow as well.

  5. I love your pictures! We’ve got several inches of snow at this stage in the game and we need a fresh coat to make it pretty!

  6. We have no snow here and garden looks very grey and kind of sad this time of the year… I am looking forward to spring πŸ™‚

  7. Very pretty pops of color! We’ve got lots of snow here in Canada. The winters can be long but it is beautiful!

    1. I’m glad you like the colors here πŸ™‚ I wonder how these flowers withstand sub-zero temperatures πŸ™‚

  8. Very beautiful but I live in Glen Burnie, I don’t care for the snow at all, let alone miss it, and we can swap! I’ll take California anyway lol but lovely pictures. I like looking at the snow from a warm vantage point – guess because I was born in May

    1. Ha Ha! sorry! I feel like tossing some snow around.. this page is tempting me to plan a trip to Lake Tahoe πŸ™‚

  9. I live in Canada and there’s no shortage of snow here! I will admit although I hate it and long to be somewhere always warm I’m not sure how I would do without changing seasons!

    1. I missed the seasons when I first moved here.. but now, just find it easy to live here πŸ™‚
