Love all of your Pictures. Funny how we sometimes overlook the small things in life and by the way that's some great Photography. Keep them coming its going to be a long Winter and anything goes.

Thank you Carol, peachiekien, Jim, Beth, Inga and Christina! Carol, I love Yves Piaget even though I have many complaints about it. It is by no means disease resistant in my climate and mildews quite a bit. Even in that shot you can see mildew on the stem. The spring flush balls most of the time:-(. The bush itself is lanky and sparce, not too pretty. But those blooms are gorgeous... Christina, thank you for your optimism. I don't think I will see any blooms in the next 6 weeks:-(, it is more likely to be 3 months here... Masha

Thank you everybody! Beth, I have been wondering about that candituft myself. It has become very sprawling because it is always in bloom and I can't find a good time to prune it:-(. Christina, I have cut off that SDLM bud as I finally got around to pruning it:-(. Masha

AM, I also smiled at the thought of you driving around, peeling tape off the box at the red lights. (grin) That pottery is lovely and the book looks very interesting, Mediterranean cooking is supposed to be very, very healthy. I don't have a scale and never have had one, now you'll probably be posting how useful it is and I'll think I need one! Take care of little Lucy, hug her for me. Hugs to you too. Annie

Oddly enough, the power went out in my area last night as well. Was a nasty wet and kind of blustery day and evening so likely some tree close by lost a branch or fell and took out the lines. Not uncommon in my heavily wooded area :-) But also enjoy the benfits of a dedicated generator, which switched itself on in a matter of a few seconds. Power stayed off most of the night - woke me up when it came back on in the very early morning as all the appliances beep with the switch from generator to regular power. And I had left the hall light on...........

Masha, your camellias are to die for! I especially love the first variety! It is so great that your camellias are flowering at a time when the roses are resting. Even though in your case it not true because your roses simply don't seem to rest :-)!

Great photography in all 4 "grateful for winter" photo threads! It has given me a lot of joy to see them.

Thanks for posting!

There are actually two white camellias there, a peony type and a rose type. They are not fragrant to me, and I don't know the names as they were planted awhile ago by the previous owners of the house. To me, Kramer's Supreme and High Fragrance are the most fragrant camellias.
