Sunday Stroll: More Promising Signs, Indoor Version

Bracing for a blizzard. Big Nor'Easter on the way tonight, snowfall projections are far from conclusive. March is definitely coming in like the proverbial lion. The first flakes of Phase 1 are beginning as I type this.

But here inside the Lodge, it's springtime.

With flowers...

Azalea



Crown of thorns



And fresh young green foliage

Lavender



Bonsai citrus



Passionflower



Nell Gwyn's Ivy
(Revenge theft, because she stole my gloves during a previous Sunday Stroll!)



Kalanchoe



Last year's birthday gift, English boxwood from my parent's house



This year's birthday gift, shamrocks from the Chap



And last, but certainly not least, my traditional birthday bouquet, with flowers selected to be fully opened at mid-week for the actual birthday day.



The daffodil is an appropriate flower for this First of March. It's St. David's Day, the Welsh National Holiday, when folks wear a daffodil--or a leek--pinned to their clothing. In honour of the Welsh patron saint, and my Evans and Williams heritage, I'll take the daffodil, thanks--in my opinion leeks are for eating, not wearing!
