This yellow Witch Hazel (Hamamelis intermedia) is currently in peak-bloom while the orange variety on the other side of the garden has dropped most of its petals.
After three years of seeing the buds freeze off, Camellia sasanqua 'Apple Blossom' has finally burst into bloom. The flowers don't look anything like apple blossoms...they're much bigger!!
A few naturalized Cyclamen coum seedlings.
Mahonia x media 'Charity'
is also blooming right now. I've seen a few hummingbirds visit this
one. Unfortunately, they're always off to the next plant by the time I
get my camera out.
And finally, if you're going to grow one plant in February, it should be a hellebore. This genus keeps getting better every year thanks to the many Hellebore breeders out there. Shown are Helleborus orientalis & Helleborus niger.
