It has been so cold and grey on the coast this week! And even though it is Compost Week here at Sweet Holliw Almanac, I can’t stand to leave a picture of my pile up as the lead photo. There’s a reason my pile is out behind a stand of redwoods! Here are some happy winter color photos to brighten the day instead: my hellebores blooming, and my gorgeous potted purple ornamental kale on the porch. Somehow the cold seems to make the purple brighter. Maybe that’s just me.
The hellebores started blooming about a week ago, and soon the camellias will start! I love flowers, every month of the year!
A potted ornamental kale on my porch seems to glow brighter the colder it gets. Or maybe I’m just starved for color after a month of not much blooming.
Very Pretty!
I should have sent you a photo of my murdered cactus on my balcony last week. I left it out in the cold, and accomplished the supposedly impossible: cactucide. My last remaining houseplant. RIP Epstein.
