Winter Flowers

During this stretch of the coldest period of our winter so far I thought I would take a look at our winter flowers.  Remember last fall we planted numerous flowers that would actually bloom over the winter and very early spring months.  I felt the golf course had good "color" during spring, summer, and fall of the growing season, but we were lacking during the winter period.  There are not many, but there are some plant types that do flower in the cold winter months in our region.  Last week after that rain event some of those flowers started to form buds and we should see them around the course for the next couple months.

Up close of the Helleborus 'Josef Lemper', 

Interesting to see everything dormant around it, and then green leaves and a blooming flower
Look for them over the next two months in the landscape tee beds, along with an orange Heauchera, 'Peach Flambe', which will be blooming  soon.
