We've had a mild winter so far with just a couple of frosty nights.
I was still surprised to find this periwinkle blooming in the garden.

Interesting shot. The colour is still relatively vibrant but you can see the signs of decay within the flower already, both in terms of a slight fade and of course the decayed parts around the edge.

Sometimes the dainty demeanor belies the strength. :) V

Amazing to see flowers outside at this time of year. A beautiful shot of that hardy one!

Wow! I have vinca growing along my house foundation and find them blooming very early in the spring but never in November! Nice! V

Not just blooming, that colour really pops.

So delicate and lovely. It's certainly strange, at 550metres we have hollyhocks happily blooming!

Well, plants and animals do work out the weather better than humans...there's the proof. V
