More Winter Colours
Indoor Hyacinth is more vivid than than outdoor plants in January
This was about 2 weeks ago, still in flower but determined to fall over at every opportunity. I usually grow them in soil and can pop a skewer in as support, not very attractive with a hyacinth vase. Out in the garden the pinks are paler, which fits well with the grey greens and frosted leaves.
Clematis stems with their own brand of winter beauty
Hydrangea Petiolaris (Climbing Hydrangea) has straddled the shed roof.
Clematis 'Markham's Pink' seed head
Osteospermum (perennial)
Frosty Hebe, the one I posted the frosty close-up of the other day.
I intended to do a big post of art that looked liked winter gardens but I need to sleep, here are two, hopefully I'll have time for more later in the week but family are in town so I may not blog much.

Your photos are quite an inspiration, so nice! The Hyacinth is such a great splash of colour.
