interesting to hear from you, as the originator of this delightfull winter garden was an englishman from your area of the world .. it is a lovely garden .. quite vibrant at this time of the year ..

 

Ah, an English gardener eh!

We *do love our gardens..very much. If you look at Kew Botanical Gardens there are some beauties there too.

There is also a tropical extravaganza going on at Kew between 7th feb - 8th march so hurry to the airport lolol

I like this flower - Helleborus Orientalis. It reminds me of a Clamatis!

 

Buenos Noches,

Plants flowering in Winter can be a bit different here in the Desert Southwest of the United States. This year I filled my balcony with ornamental cabbages and kale varieties.

Here is a photo of two plants past the rosette stage and not quite to inflorescence:
