This anemone is new to us this year, lovely, takes ages to open, flowers for a few days and then it’s gone, worth it for the colour. #Gardenshour @gardenshour.bsky.social

Neptune, the mysterious, which I planted last year after seeing it in a Bluesky post. I couldn’t find the right spot in the garden for ages and it sat in a pot neglected but once the clematis flowered it was obvious where it needed to be.

Such delicate pastels.

That's a beauty. 😍

Good to know! 👍 If they survive the shoveling maybe they're tougher than I thought

Lovely. 😊

I dunno. Our garden zone is 3a-4b. The elevation (Rocky Mountain proximity) makes it challenging. I'm at 1200m. I think I just lucked out with a micro-climate corner and one hardy plant! However, it might be nice to have more. 🤔

Polar vortex shift poised to unleash more bitter cold across the US through mid-December More Arctic air is building over northern Canada and will be directed into the United States, courtesy of the polar vortex. How long will the cold waves last? Will it stay cold through Christmas?

'Ice N Roses White' Hellebore

I'll see mine in May. sigh Well I'm lucky I even got one to grow here. It's aptly called 'Ice N Roses White'. ❄️ I still have pics from when I brought it home Feb 2023. It has overwintered twice.

Very nice! 🧐

About six Trumpeter Swans are seen standing on the edge ice of a wintery scene.

At least nine Trumpeter Swans seem to have settled down to overwinter on our stretch of river. Hopefully they will find enough submerged vegetation to keep them going for another 5 months! #Ab #YYC #birds

There are a lot of sources online that say Shetland is home to the endemic species Edmondston's Chickweed.

This is not the case - instead the island of Unst is the only global site for Cerastium nigrescens var. nigrescens, an endemic *variety* of the Artic Mouse-ear.

Oh thank you very much. Just my cell phone (Motorola). I used to carry around a lot of 35mm film equip and camera, very old school. But now I just like whipping a phone from my pocket. And walking without gear. Getting lazy maybe
