December Bloom

Flower bud

Lightdance, December 16, 2011

I was at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, where they know what they doing,  when I took this photo, but, really, should anything in zone 6 be blooming in December? Judging by the thorn, however, flowering quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) is probably capable of fending for itself.

  1. Three of our red azaleas had a bunch of blossoms on them, we have had a lovely mild fall also. Today is the first day that the temp is below freezing at 10 in the morning. I just brought my last hanging plants indoors the other day.
    Grass is still green too.
    Hope we dont get slammed in Jan or Feb!
