New Year's Eve blooms

 Christmas poinsettia still going strong.

 It wouldn't be winter without cyclamen. 

 Or pansies.

And more pansies.

 'Double Radazz' Knockout rose.

 'Monkey Business' rose.

'Cherry Nymph' amaryllis - too late for Christmas, just in time for New Year's.

From my house to yours this New Year's Eve, may 2014 be your best year yet and, most importantly, may your garden flourish! 

Happy New Year in the garden

May 2013 be filled with all good things for you and for your garden. May the sun shine - but not so much as to parch the plants. May the gentle rains fall - but not so much as to wash everything away. May sweet breezes come to cool the brow of the hard-working gardener. And may there be birds and butterflies and toads, frogs, lizards, and turtles aplenty, enough to entertain the gardener. And, most importantly, may the good bugs always outnumber the bad bugs and may all the weed crops fail!
