Garden: GBBD--December 2013


Hey!  Better late than never, y'all.  Of course, a week of sub-freezing temps pretty much ended our floral display and a concerted search of the garden yielded...NOTHING.  So I tried to make something pretty out of the blooms I found.

*  Edited to add this photo for reference and comparison.  I think I like it better than than the below photo, but it doesn't harmonize so well with the whole photo story.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens, is a celebration of what is blooming each month in bloggers' gardens around the world.

Those skeletonized florets at the top of your post are cool, and beautiful too!

Hey, B! I should disclose that I edited the first picture and replaced it with one having more contrast. (Alison commented on the first picture I'd put up.) At first, I thought it would look pretty cool to take the photo with reduced contrast and color. But I found out that I preferred a brighter, crisper version. I'm going to go out again tomorrow (weather permitting) and try to take the photo that I have in mind.

Looks pretty good to me. I find it hard to find words to describe the winter garden.
