One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)
More snow. Like that first big storm (1 1/2 feet before Christmas) this is light and powdery. I'll try the backpack blower tomorrow since it won't be melting any tonight at 13F. If I was a groundhog, I might prefer to stay in my burrow Tuesday and wait for the end of the week when we're supposed to approach 40 again. Oh well....I started a fire Friday night and it'll burn through Sunday night. Joan went skiing and Nate is off to snowboard so I guess winter has its uses. Still, I await spring eagerly.
Still flowering in the Tropical House at the Bonsai and Penjing Museum. It's been flowering for so long I don't remember when it started. With the pot it's over 5 feet tall; it would be an attractive plant without the flowers so now....wow. It's an Asian, native from India and Nepal, through Southern China, and south into the Pacific.
