Winter flowers at Ayr Mont
February 07, 2013
Dear husband and I went for a walk at Ayr Mont on the afternoon of Superbowl Sunday. It was very quiet and peaceful. I was surprised at how many flowers were blooming there:
Dear husband pointed out the aconite.
The scilla flowers were way back in the woods. My camera couldn't focus on them, but they were a nice splash of blue.
It was overcast where we were all afternoon, although we could see that there was sun way off in the distance at times. Here, a hole in the clouds briefly opened up.
Crocuses and a partly frost-blasted pansy in the garden at the back of the house. This garden faces south and has two stories of warm brick behind it so flowers bloom early.
I was amazed at how many daffodils were blooming in this one spot, which isn't near the house or unusually warm.
