Signs That Winter is Coming to an End!!!

Camellia
Temperature was beautiful today, it was 68 degrees Fahrenheit,  so I walked around my garden snapping pictures. Lots of activity going on in my garden I cannot wait for everything to come to life. Lots of buds and shoots and of course woods! 
I hope you are as tired of winter as I am. We had a mild winter overall but it is going out with with a bang. We've had three weeks in a row of at least one day with snow forecast. To add salt to the injury all the snow has been a thin sheet of ice or very minuscule amount of snow; less than an inch.  I don't mind a good amount of snow one day and be done, but this cold weather has lingered only to cause damage to some of my plants. If for no other reason, I want the winter to be over because the cold weather is killing my plants! 

My Camellia is taking forever to bloom! 


Azalea

Sedum, already coming off the ground.


Flowering Plum is the last to lose leaves and yet the first to shoot, very short winter season

Maples are starting to shoot

Creeping Jenny winter color is rust!

Pink Flowering Dogwood. It looks like I'll finally get some flowers this year, fingers crossed!!!
