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

Rhododendron 'Wine and Roses'

Chaenomeles 'Double Take Orange Storm' (Quince)


Ribes sanguineum (Red flowering Currant)

    All lovely! I really need to try growing Ribes sanguineum - it's supposed to grow here.

    Rhododendron Taurus is lovely! I've always wanted to try growing currant, and the flower is so bright and showy.
