Looking back at my garden notes from Februaries past,
one thing’s for sure, plants are blooming earlier. This has been a whacky
winter; and by whacky I mean mild and wonderful. I’ve actually enjoyed
spending time outdoors throughout most of this winter, which is in stark
contrast to the incredibly snowy winter Nashville saw last year.
Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles),
Daffodils (Narcissus), Lenten Rose (Helleborus), and Witchhazel (Hamamelis) lead the charge (and the
Camellias are still blooming!). The thought of grouping all late-winter
blooming plants together in one composition seems a perfect way to combat
winter blues. And while ordinarily opposed to such theme gardens, this is one
I’d like to try.
