spacecadet 4,071 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 12 hours ago, Betty LaRue said: You must live in a sheltered place. Suburban garden. The heliotrope used to be under the canopy of a copper beech out front. I pollarded the beech last year, so it is still there but the canopy isn't. I suspect the heliotrope thinks it still is. Except of course, thinking about it, it flowers in December when there are no leaves anyway. Hmm. There will be cuckoo flower, bluebells and green alkanet later. The primroses grow out of the edges of the path and raised beds. We mow round them. January is pretty early for them. I wonder if this one got surprised when it was frosty last week. It was milder earlier. We don't do gardening, only demolition. Link to post Share on other sites

VbFolly 787 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 We've had a really cold spell this week, and I took this photo yesterday of these amazing icicles in trees. Another recent photo - some welcome winter colour. The common name of these fungi is scarlet elf cup. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
