Now that the first heavy frost has taken out some plants, I figured it's a good time to chase away those "it can't be winter already" blues with a few photos from a couple of weeks ago.

Lovely blooms Cherylad. Some of those I can't even grow here, and the others are all tucked away for the winter. It's a blizzard out my window so thanks for sharing them
Breath taking. Thank you for taking some of my Winter blues away. We don't have any snow like Netty but we have had cold and those pics have warmed me up allot.
Thank you for the very colorful, pretty flowers. I really needed and enjoyed seeing them instead of the brown stems sticking out of the snow at my house.
What a beautiful display of blooms!! How I wish I could show you some pictures of what is flowering here. Sadly there is nothing of note whatsoever in my garden at this time of year. You certainly cheered me up seeing your colourful photographs.
Gad Cheryl--there's no blues there! Lovely bloomers you've still got. That Esperanza I find quite breathtaking.
Thanks everyone! Glad I took the photos, because after the frost the other day, the only one of these still looking alive is that yellow mum and the queen's tears. The rest... toast!
I saw those blues running down the road away from Gardenstew. A great pick-me up picture bouquet. Thank you Cheryl. Jerry
Beautiful colours to get those blues on the run Cheryl! I am still amazed by the plants that you can grow outdoors in your neck of the woods-plants that only survive as house plants or in greenhouses in the UK,like the gingers and the Shrimp plant which I haven't seen over here for years as it seems to have fallen out of fashion :-( It's a good job you have the pictures to keep you going now the frost has done the damage! Thanks for sharing
