Last week, I blogged about a Lenten Rose that had budded out in late December before being subjected to our winter weather. Snow protected it from cold temperatures but when the snow disappeared, I wasn't sure if the buds had survived.
It was springlike yesterday and the day before where I live in the Northeast United States, so I investigated the plant yesterday. Yesterday, in fact, it got up to 74F (23.3C). Sometimes, that happens where I live but this is not that common.
So, what did I see?

The only problem is, winter will be returning later today. Early next week, in fact, the temperature is expected to dip into the teens F (approximately -7 C).
So the saga isn't over yet. I can only hope for the best.

These delicate little flowers are often hardier than we believe. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDelete...I have seen snowdrops and winter aconite. Our lenten rose are poppy up, but aren't in flower yet.
ReplyDeleteSweet little blossoms. Out by my pond the trout lilies are blooming. Maybe I'll post a picture later.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little flowers ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteThey are tough! I'm glad you got to have a second look, and hopefully a third.
ReplyDeleteLovely dance! I hope they survive. I wish you that the cold weather
ReplyDeletewill not last.
Happy WW, Alana! A fine week!❤️😘
Spring is popping out all over the place here. I love spring. I hope the flowers make it through the upcoming winter.

WOW, y'all got a lot warmer the other day than I imagined it would be! We were pretty warm, but I'm a whole lot farther south and this is expected. I'm glad the buds survived the cold. It was cool today and will dip below freezing tonight, but tomorrow it'll be in the mid 60s. I'm ready for spring! xo CAAC
