Wild, Wacky, Winter Weather

THIS WEEK HAS been crazy weather-wise. It started with snow on Monday and then again on Tuesday morning.  Tuesday night's high winds ushered in a significant warm up, followed by a steady, drenching rain. And, according to the forecasters, more rain is on the way for the remainder of the week. We're in the throes of a "Pineapple Express"--the moniker for storms that travel up from the tropics and dump copious quantities of rain. It's all about making up for lost time. December was unseasonably dry.    

I think this is 'Cinco de Mayo' with Clematis 'Nellie Moser.' 
I am so far behind on blog reading. If I haven't visited you lately, please bear with me. I will do my best. In the meantime, I thought I'd follow Joy's lead and post photos of flowers. You remember, those things that show up in summer on green things that come out of the ground? In case you've forgotten, like I have, here are some reminders. 

Phygelius 'Cherry Ripe' 

Pelargonium 'Apple Blossom' 

Rosa 'Purple Tiger' 

Verbascum 'Southern Charm' 
 Okay, that's all for now. I've got to get my scuba gear out so I can swim to work in the morning.

As always,
