A cherry down the street from us blooms in february every year. More than once I have seen it blooming while snow is falling.

Extra nice photos this go-round, too. The ultimate compliment, I hope, is that you make me want to go spend $ on every one of these. So weird about your witch hazel, could it be one that is just supposed to do that, or did it used to bloom later and then moved it back? Not a lot still blooming for me, just some deeply rust-colored rudbeckias my mom gave me starts of (very goth) and the last of the Japanese anemones, mostly. Happy Halloween!

I was blown away by the Brugmansia and then you just kept going and going!!! Your garden is amazing. I think I must get a Brugmansia next year. Do I remember right that you got yours at the HPSO sale? I keep loving the Leonotis leonurus, so much so I just might have to try one next year. MEGAN! Everything looks so good!
