The First shall be Last

As the sunset on 2017 burned a fire red glow,.

So the First morning of 2018 dawned crisp and bright.

Crisp and cold to start the new year, seems like the slugs have enjoyed the warming conditions in the greenhouse as that summer sun has been getting temps up into the 50's. If you look closely, our unidentified hoop petticoat Narcissus in the background had a stem eaten off. 

Cheers and Good wishes for 2018.

Mark
