These are some of the nature's gifts which I wait so impatiently to watch her unwrap. There is the witch hazel with its' stalwart blooms defying the most brutal cold; the bright bulbs of aconites which just tickles me pink to view; the parrotia persica's flowers; the bright pinkish hue of the currants; and of course the chimonanthus so bright and cheery and so generously sharing the air with a rare perfume-like fragrance.
Thank you nature for your gifts so brilliantly presented. You make it worth the wait.
To paraphrase a popular quote by Tiny Tim, Merry 'Springmas' to all and to all a 'Good Spring!'
Cheers,
Laura :)
