Water, Water Everywhere – January 5, 2023

thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://mamacormier.com/2023/01/04/new-flower-january-4-2023-white-hellebores/

So far 2023 has been very wet. Lots of rain and mild temperatures. I know lots of people prefer this to colder temperatures and snow but I am not one of them. Give me a day with big fluffy snow flakes and brisk temperatures in January. Come March I will start to look forward to the weather we have now but give me some winter first.

Christmas at the Centennial Park Conservatory

all decked out in red and white with poinsettias, amaryllis, kalanchoe and more

Every year the Centennial Park Conservatory decorates the north greenhouse with a Christmas theme. It is well worth a visit.
