We had a gorgeously warm day here in the Triangle.  While traveling around to clients’ homes today I hit the brakes when I noticed a lovely yellow glow in an otherwise dull bed.  Among the dormant grasses and perennials these lovelies stood up with grace and courage.

We’ll keep having a warm February.  I’ve seen crocuses up, cherries starting to bloom and, of course hellebores emerging from the mulch.  We’ll likely get some cold weather before winter’s over (I’m hoping for a bit more snow), but we can enjoy this weather while it lasts.
