    No such thing as outdoor buds here in Massachusetts - as far as I can tell. The garden is all aslick with ice. The amaryllis in the house is cheering.

    I'm sorry - I'm Northern and I'm not laughing. I depend on the Southern gardeners to carry my spirit through winter. What will I do? It was 1 above this morning when I woke up and in outlying areas it got to -10. It will be a while before I see flowers locally (upstate New York) again.

    Wondering why it's called a 'Red Bellied Woodpecker' when its tummy is white.

    Heard that hellebores are very sturdy plants (especially when one wants to remove them). And the woodpecker is soo pretty! Many thanks for sharing them with All Seasons! Have a great garden week:)

    I always have to smile when I see flowers begin their journey from the ground and especially when there's snow on the ground! Your feathery friend makes for a great shot!!

    So hard to believe things are sprouting where you are - here, snow as far as the eye can see!
