Thought I'd share pics of plants in my garden in bloom, one for each month of the year. To those of you in FL or CA that may seem like no big deal, but here in SE PA we just had a week solid where the temp never got above freezing and was down into the low teens/single digits at night.

January: Jasminum nudiflorum, Naked Jasmine picture taken on 1/12/13

We haven't had a cold snap like that in a few years. I'm curious to see if my Rosemary plant will survive. I used to plant a new one each year because it's a zone 8 perennial and I'm on the edge of zones 6 & 7. The one I currently have has surnvived 3 winters.

Around here it's definitely a late winter bloomer. Mine's already about done for the season.

These were under a few inches yesterday, but it melted overnight. I should have been able to get a pic of Spring Beauties in bloom by now, and they're barely breaking the ground. I suppose this cool wet spring will pay off down the line, but it's pretty drab right now!
