Did you ever wonder about why there is often moss and lichen at the base of trees - look at how the rain is rushing down the trunk of this Yellowwood tree - on the North side so shady. Rainy day today so the rain garden is full of water #rainytree #wetdayinthegarden #yellowwoodtree #northviewgarden #moss

Rainy day at Northview Garden - American Beech tree still has leaves and looks good with my lovely purple bench from the Philadelphia Flower Show last year made by #fermobusa #fermob #northviewgarden #rainygarden #inmygarden #purplebench #americanbeech @fermobusa @philaflowershow

A selection of cut witch hazels from Northview Garden - even after the snow and cold. From left to right - Angelly, Bernstein, Glowing Embers, Gimborn’s Perfume, Konrad Duerr’s, Orange Peel, Rochester, Vesna, Winter Champagne, and Wisley Supreme. I wish that you could smell them - these are all fragrant #northviewgarden #witchhazels #witchhazel #hamamelis #hamamelisxintermedia #winterblooms #winterintgegarden

Witch Hazel ‘Rochester’ flower in the colors of the sunrise - backlit to highlight the translucent ombré petals and raindrops. This was taken a couple of days ago and today we have snow forecast. These are tough flowers and wonderfully fragrant #witchhazel #witchhazelflowers #rochesterwitchhazel #witchhazelrochester #hamamelis #rochesterhamamelis #hamamelisrochester #northviewgarden #winterflowers #inmywintergarden #springinwinter #flowers

Snowdrop underside of this frilly double flower - protected from the snow that is forecast to arrive later today. Bees were working the snowdrops last week when it was warm but otherwise I cross-pollinate my favorites with a little paintbrush. You can see the orange pollen #snowdrop #doublesnowdrop #undertheflower #inmygarden #januarygarden #winterflowers #whiteflowers #northviewgarden #pennsylvaniagarden

How delightful to have outdoor flowers in the winter - this so called Christmas Rose is really a Hellebore - Helleborus niger in the buttercup family at this wonderful private garden in Maryland #christmasrose #helleborusniger #buttercupfamily #whiteflower #winterflower #januaryflower #marylandgarden #januarygarden #yellowstamens

Chimonanthus praecox or Wintersweet is named correctly for its fragrant flowers. Often needs a protected place near the house in the mid-atlantic region. This private garden contains an amazing collection of Wintersweet #wintersweet #chimonanthus #chimonanthuspraecox #januaryflowers #winterflowers

Witch hazel ‘Orange Peel’ on a warm January day in Pennsylvania. If you look closely there is an ant crawling at the top of the flower #northviewgarden #hamamelis #witchhazelorangepeel #hamamelisorangepeel #plantsofinstagram #january #winterflowers #insectsinflowers

I just found this snowdrop today in my garden. No name - just one of my random ones. Love it - early with unusual green marking with what looks like a yellow tinge #galanthus #snowdrop #northviewgarden #januaryflower #mygardeninwinter

‘Vesna’ witch hazel unfurling on a strangely warm January day. Beautiful color combination #northviewgarden #vesnawitchhazel #hamamelisvesna #witchhazel #hamamelis #januaryflower #wintergarden #orangeflower

Galanthus ‘Colossus’ - nice patch of snowdrops in the winter sunshine under a beech tree - in the 50’s and 60’s today #northviewgarden #snowdrops #galanthus #galanthuscolossus #januarygarden #mygarden #wintergarden #gloriousshade

Promise of Spring at the beginning of Winter. Snowdrop spears pierce the chilly soil. An unnamed but lovely early snowdrop with little green upside down heart markings on the outer petals #northviewgarden #snowdrops #earlysnowdrops #winterflowers #januaryflowers #winterblooms #gloriousflowers #unknownsnowdrop

Misty January morning at Northview Garden- Wilmer Atkinson editor of the Farm Journal planted this Japanese Maple tree many decades ago. It has been enjoyed and admired by thousands of people. A reminder to keep planting trees for future enjoyment of others. What tree are you going to plant in 2020? #plantatree #northviewgarden #januarygarden #mistygarden #japanesemaple #favoritetree #planttrees #plantingin2020
