These are photos I took on December 5 — four days ago. We still have the stray rose. We also have, on the right, the Bergénia flowers that seem to bloom year-round. They are called saxifrages by people around here, which is their family name. In English they are sometimes known as "elephant ears" because of the shape of their large leaves. I'm not sure what the reddish berries or buds are. Maybe laurel.
A rose is a rose is a rose...
Oh,what a treat, in December!
ReplyDeleteWe are still waiting for a hard freeze. The camillas are blooming now and are lovely.
