Winter Flowers

Sometimes pictures say more than words! The first two are flowers that traditionally bloom in the winter. The daffodils were the first of the year last year, pictured on a lovely sunny day. The Veronica was a little sparse when I took the picture, but later became a mass of soft pink blossom that is a joy in winter.
This rose never ceases to amaze us. It flowers in profusion from June until early February, this picture was taken in late December.
And this poor Magnolia is flowering in spite of snow in April. Maybe the next question should be 'when does winter end?'

Wow! Look at all that snow in the last picture! We have never experienced that much snow here in SC!

Very beautiful flowers...the last one is a really cool shot, and with all that SNOW! I live in Las Vegas and we don't get that kind of snow down in the valley (not that I'm complaining)lol...

Thanks for sharing your wonderful flowers!

wow - can't believe that magnolia was blooming. So very pretty! Mom's roses are still blooming too - they seem to be able to take the winter - in protection. Mine won't!
