Three purple hyacinth blooms are emerging amid the bright green spiky foliage, encouraged by the light rain and warmer temperatures overnight.

The beginning of Dala horse mittens has been cast on in Lunar New Year colors of red and gold, to honor the year of the Fire Horse, with a Nordic twist.

Tiny blue flowers with white centers are blooming above a mat of fleshy leaves, climbing over rocks in a drainage ditch.

The Veronica persica Speedwell (I always wanted to use this as an AKA race car driver name) has survived the ice and snow and is happily creeping amidst the rocks in the drainage ditch.

A green cabbage (or kale, I'm not sure which) with a magenta center has survived under the snow and ice, emerging in the sunshine still covered with rain drops.

Several buds are emerging to become Amaryllis flowers of an unknown variety. A monochrome filter has been applied.

Bright pink Stargazer lilies bloom against a beigey-pink wall while it rains outside. It is just warm enough to avoid the dreaded 'wintry mix.'
