Oh Baby, It's Cold Outside - Let's Go Visit Vassey Nursery.

The wet and cold continues (February was the wettest on record) and temperatures are 10 - 15 degrees lower than normal. We've had quite a variety of precipitation and wind.  Come on sun, do your thing!   Officially winter has 10 more days and we'll all be happy to say goodbye to that season this year.   On the bright side, the snowdrops and other winter bloomers will last longer.  Time for some nursery therapy.

The ghost of summers yet to be. 

Of springs present - Pieris japonica

Calluna vulgaris 'Blazeaway'

This must be one of those recreational pot stores everyone is talking about.  

Love these rusty metal flowers!

Must be a big-mouthed bass. 

It's always calm and relatively warm inside. 

In a normal year, most of these plants would already be outside.

Camellia japonica 'Tama Peacock' jumped into my cart.  Yes, I'm well aware that there are already quite enough camellias in my garden and a Magnolia still in the pot from last season looking for a place to be planted but look at those sweet white edges.

This carpet of silver-leaved cyclamen grows larger every year.

One cannot go wrong with a blue and gold combination!

The pond is looking as serene as ever but the fish told me that they're sick of winter too. 

Groovy gazing ball stands.

The number of birds on these shelves caught my eye before I realized that the whole unit is a bird. What fun.

So, another plant to put into a pot or in the ground when and if the weather ever lets up.  Have you brought home any interesting plants yet this year?
