Sunset over Northview Garden - with colors reminiscent of the painting of Turner or Maxfield Parrish. Beautiful but cold - so cold that my fingers couldn’t take the photos until I had warmed them up! #frostysunset #turnersunsetcolors #parrishsunsetcolors #sunset #colorfulsunset #nofilter #northviewgarden

No filter colorful sunset at Northview Garden tonight - Sweetgum tree outlined against the multi-colored sky #februarygarden #sunsetovergarden #sunset #sweetgumtree #muticoloredsky #nofilter

Snowdrop or Galanthus taken at Northview Garden last weekend - one of the crosses from the bees or my paintbrush? - forgot to post it. I hope that is still upright after freezing snowy weather #northviewgarden #galanthus #snowdrop #winterflower #whiteandgreenflower

Dawn on a frosty morn! Zero degrees F so this view is out of the window. Little moon peeking though the pin oak tree #frostymorning #frostymorn #coldmorning #northviewgarden #dawn #januarydawn

We are nothing! In Fahrenheit Or minus 18 Celsius. I know that we are not as cold as the Midwest. But this is cold for us. We will be able to test the hardiness of our plants #frostymorning #january #amblerpa #coldmorning #northviewgarden #zerodegrees

Hamamelis mollis ‘Wisley Supreme’ - named for the Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden at Wisley in England - to cheer us up on this frigid night. 6 degrees F or minus 14C - going down to 3F. Love the curls! Unfurl in warm and curl up more in cold #hamamelis #hamamelismollis #hamameliswisleysupreme #yellowwitchhazel #witchhazel #northviewgarden #winterflowers
