Winter Blooms

While Autumn has been snow bound, I have had warmth and rain.  Went out today to pick up branches that have fallen of treetops, and found some Poinsettas that are over a year old. I had planted them after Christmas in 2011. They grew and stayed green all last summer. It has not been down below freezing much this winter and they have survived. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them today. It just makes one smile to see blooming plants and realize how great life is. Take time to see what blooms.
