Rosie's February Garden.

Welcome to Rosie's February garden. We've only had a few days of freezing weather this year, but it was enough to kill my more delicate annuals. My castor bean plants, which were whipped during Hurricane Irene but managed to come back beautifully, didn't make it through the cold snap, nor did my tender amaranthuses, zinnias, and nasturtiums. Not to worry. They've all self-seeded and will be back next year. No matter the weather, I always have something blooming every month.

Doesn't this hyacinth know it's too early to bloom?

Patch of oxalis. Too bad I didn't give this perspective. This patch is about 2 feet wide.

I have stock plants everywhere and this lone plant is blooming. And this is the earliest I've seen my stock bloom.

Even some of my larkspur is starting to bloom. Sorry, but I blame Al Gore for these abnormalities in my garden. First he invents the internet, then he invents global warming. The man needs to be stopped.

This is my little river of recycled glass.

I like sparkly!

I threw out a bunch of wildflower seeds back in September and some are already starting to bloom. Orange calendula and white iberis, aka candy tuft.

Mar? ID, please. And that would be Mar, of Foodies Untie blogdom, my personal Master Gardener.

The leaves are kind of fuzzy and sort of look like petunia and the stems are fuzzy.

And the pretty pink flower has heart-shaped petals. ETA: Of course, Mar came through for me: Marilyn said...

I believe it might be blue phlox. Despite the name, the flowers can be anywhere from rosy-lavender to pink.

Here's the link.

Fatsia japonica.
