Winter Hazel or Corylopsis with chartreuse flowers to brighten up a dreary day. I was walking around the shade garden and nearly got hit on the head! #winterhazel #corylopsis #marchflowers #chartreuseflowers #shadegardening #gloriousshade #shrubs #northviewgarden

Daffodil diversity to cheer your day. Such cheerful spring flowers and so easy to grow. Look at your garden now to see where you might add some bulbs in the autumn. Deer don’t eat them. @americandaffodilsociety @brentandbeckys #daffodils #springflowers #northviewgarden #yellowflowers #easyflowers #deerproofflowers #daffodil

A lovely patch of Galanthus ‘Colossus’ in the winter sunshine under a beech tree #galanthus #snowdrops #galanthuscolossus #northviewgarden #inmygarden #februaryflowers #whiteflowers

Galanthus ‘Wasp’ - a delicate snowdrop with long outer petals that waves in the wind #galanthus #galanthuswasp #snowdrop #snowdropwasp #northviewgarden #inmygarden #instaflower #februaryflower #whiteandgreenflower

Happy Candlemas Day - the sun shining on a bank of snowdrops this morning- also known as Candlemas bells or Fair Maids of February. Traditionally all the candles for the year were blessed today. #northviewgarden #snowdrops #candlemas #candlemass #candlemasbells #fairmaidsoffebruary

Savannah squares - Live oaks dripping with Spanish moss provide perfect high shade for Camellias growing below #savannah #savannahsquares #camellias #liveoaks #january2020

Camellia with a bee getting pollen or nectar #camellia #camelliawithbee #savannah #januaryflower

Camellia’Pink Perfection’ is my favorite bloom today. I love the symmetry and the light pink color. I wish that I could grow this plant. What flowers do you wish that you could grow? #camellia #pinkperfection #plantenvy #januarybloom #januaryflower #savannahflowers

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
