SOFT WET WINTER

We are having a soft wet Winter this time, we had a few mild frosty nights but that’s all so far, for tomorrow a severe storm is comming our way with lots of rain and very strong winds.

There are lots of plants budding as they think it’s Spring.

**THIS SKIMMIA (SKIMMIA KEW GREEN) WILL SOON OPEN IT’S BUDS**, **AL LOT EARLIER THAN USUAL**

**AND THIS PASSIONFLOWER PLANT NORMALLY LOOSES MOST OF IT’S LEAFS IN WINTER BUT NOW IT STAYED TOTALLY GREEN AND IT IS ALREADY GETTING NEW LEAFS**

**MY CORCKSCREW HAZEL (CORYLUS AVELLANA “CONTORTA”) IS COMPLETELY OVERGROWN BY ANOTHER PASSIONFLOWER AT THE MOMENT**

A SHOOT OF THE EUPHORBIA CARIACAS

THIS BUTTERFLY BUSH SHOULD LOOK DEATH THIS TIME OF THE YEAR BUT IT IS FULL OF NEW GROWTH

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting !

PEACE VREDE PAIX PAZ FRED PACE……

Looks like everyone picked one word for this new year so I picked one too :PEACE, that’s the word that suddenly came to me and because that is what we all need, without peace we can’t do anything but survive. So let us all try and make this world a better place and make peace happen !!!

Big and beautiful

Big and beautiful, that’s how I describe the AMARYLLIS. In a time where very few plants are in bloom you can always count on the amaryllis. You can buy them as bulbs and grow them inside your house but they are also for sale in every plantshop in Winter, in a pot in bloom or as cut flowers. The red ones are very popular for Christmas but they come in many colours. I was given a bunch as a gift and I was very pleased with it. Just looking at them made me happy.
