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.

Thank you for a great post.
