One Brave little Rosebud!

This brave little rosebud making it's debut
during this crazy Texas weather...
warm one day then snow
drought for weeks on end
then teasing rain...

but this little bud is preserved
for the remainder of this Winter
so instead of my wondering
what it might have been...

I choose to view it's total splendor
as it is.

Asparagus Fern in Winter

I love Asparagus Fern!

I over-winter mine in it's original pot.

 

I place the pot in the gardens.

 

The dormant asparagus fern 

adds a new dimension

to the winter evergreens

and the fallen leaves

that blanket the flower beds.

 

And now I wait...patiently...

for Spring and the renewal

of my Asparagus Fern!
