"The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the Imagination." Terri Guillemets
Each day of the year I watch for flowers and color around me in nature. In winter I particular search for color, as it is such a joy when I find it. Out of curiosity I did a search online this week to see what would pop up for winter flower quotes. I loved what I found and the thoughts behind each quote. As I share the quotes I am also sharing the color in my pictures that I have found as we quickly approach the end of winter and the beginning of springtime. The flower above is in my garden. It is called Hellebore or Lenten Rose. It is one of the first flowers I find in my garden during the waning winter days.
"The flowers of spring are winter's dreams related at the breakfast table of the angels." Kahlil Gibran
Camellias are beginning to bloom in my garden and here at Lan Su Chinese Gardens too.
I was amazed to find plum blossoms above and Daphne below at Lan Su Chinese Gardens too.
Do you think the gentlemen sitting in this garden are talking about finding winter color? We can only imagine?
"Some flowers can bloom in winter reminding of the tenderness that can conquer the cold harshness." Unknown
Daffodils have begun blooming in my garden.
"If flowers can teach themselves how to bloom after winter passes..........So can you." Noor Shirazia
Do you search for winter color?
Do you have flowers beginning to bloom around you?
Notice what you notice.
Sending love, Marilyn
