    I was saving this group of flowers from last summer as a pick-me-up during a winter snowstorm. A reminder that the flowers would return despite the raging blizzard of white. All I am missing is the typical New England nor'easter. I wonder if New Englanders will be traumatized by missing their usual blast of old man winter.........I digress........flowers.........'Chelmsford Charlie' did not see his shadow.........I am tempted to give the shovel an early spring vacation........ flowers......

    Thanks Jerry! Beautiful blooms! It is certainly a pick me up today, while I watch the snow fall. It's cool that you saved these beauties until now. Wish I had some flower pics stashed away. :stew1:

    Just what the doctor ordered! :D Lovely blooms. Soon you'll get to see them again. I wonder why winter passes more slowly than summer?
