Winter Flowers


 December is actually one of the few months in California where you can put away the clippers and the rakes and enjoy 
some "quite time" in the garden

 These are a few of the things that are still blooming...surprisingly!
There were even a few apples still left on the trees


 This is a rose called Tuscan Sun...one of my favorites

 The citrus trees are really coming on...especially the tangerines
 Our tangerines are the Satsuma variety and are delicious and seedless...
Tangarita anyone?
 The tree limbs are literally hanging to the ground 
we have so many tangerines


 The Mexican sage is still blooming and the lavenders are starting to pop out...but it will be a few more months before the big lavender bloom takes place





 The colors of orange and purple 
are my favorite to add to an arrangement

 and for some reason the burgundy of the smoke tree branches
 looks wonderful with this mix of things






 Winter is beautiful in so many ways 
and mother nature never fails us



hope you are having a
 happy and peaceful 
December!
