This winter will not end

Chinodoxa 'valentines day'
Toughing it out in the garden beds, it had a foot of snow on it yesterday. 
Anemone blanda 'Ingramii'
36
From Mt. Parnassus in Southern Greece, this one has some really great deep violet blue flowers, I can't wait to get it into the rock garden offset with some of the early yellow crocus.

Chilly, 36 and rainy, a foot of snow that fell yesterday is slowly melting off. 

Cheers, 
Mark
