With the unseasonably cold and wet weather this month, it is hard to find anything blooming in my garden. I’ve had to go back to photos taken earlier this month to share.

The top rose photo is breathtaking, nicely taken!
Hi Jackie~~ Your flowers are beautiful. Hopefully your weather is returning to normal.
I love that first shot. You have some beautiful blooms. Hope it’s warming up there.
Your photos are beautiful, but I bet that many a Houstoner (Houstonite?) was caught off guard by such early and such cold weather. Happy GBBD!
’tis the season to be frosty… it’s been freezing on and off here in b/cs too. certainly is pretty on the flower buds – hope you didn’t lose too many.
Hi Jackie,
Your buds and blooms are so pretty, even with ice and snow on them. Seeing the tomato bud reminds me of how our plants want to just keep growing, but the weather stops them sometimes.
Wonderful photo’s Jackie xx
The ice-edged flowers look so special, but I like your tree frog best of all.
