Valentine's Day Snow

We woke up to around 4 inches of snow today. We already had a dusting from yesterday. If I am not mistaken, we've had at least one big snowfall every winter since we've lived here. They usually occur in January or February but sometimes as late as April. Here are the obligatory photos. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy

    Phillip, that's your reward for having to shovel snow. Would I rather not shovel snow or have lilies? A little snow wouldn't be bad. They're so gorgeous.

    Two of my favorites and a week or two from bloom here... love the orienpets but many are chlorotic this season from all the rain and cool temps we've had... great pics! Larry

    Musadet, a nice white with tiny red spots around the center is also a must have. It is the most fragrant one in the garden. My Golden Stardust
    was just starting to open and the storm today broke it off. I staked it, so hopefully the remaining blooms will open. Mary

    Mary, I had Muscadet in a container for many years but this year it did not reappear. It was always loaded with blooms so it is one that I want again.

    I particularly like "Scheherazade", however I know people who'd have trouble pronouncing that after a Saturday night party, ha.

    Rob, I have to stop and think before I pronounce the name, drinking or not. :)
