    These are lovely – I like the spikey ones with the yellow on top best.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 14, 2024 / 11:27

      Thanks, Lydia. Me too, I’ve no idea what they’re called!

      Lydia, I tried leaving a comment beneath your fabulous set of Japanese temple photos, but I was unsuccessful!

    They may be braving the winter chill, but they remind me of spring and I’m so ready with spring. I looked at every one of your photographs. Beautiful.

    Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. :)

    Wow! So beautiful

    Wow! So many brave flowers in your neck. Boy, do we ever live in different climes… While we had a couple of days above freezing and a lot of snow melted, no way would any flowers dare! Mind you, my rhododendrons seem a tad confused…

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 14, 2024 / 12:01

      I don’t know how they do it. If I was a flower I’d stay hidden for a few weeks more, it’s still very chilly here. Rhodies are odd things, here some are only just budding and others are flowering.

      • Dale's avatar Dale February 14, 2024 / 12:05

        No kidding. Who know what lies ahead, it is only mid-February, after all… They budded in December, too.

    Beautiful and a whole lot braver that me! Nothing poking their little head out around here …. and that includes me! Thanks for the lovelies!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 15, 2024 / 17:16

      Thanks, Nancy. I can’t say I blame you, I almost froze taking the photos!

    That is a lot of lovely flowers. We did have a few pansies and cyclamen until the slugs decided they preferred them to the slug pellets!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 15, 2024 / 17:59

      I have 53 external steps to my balcony, and somehow slugs are always making it all the way up to my tubs of plants, it must take them days. I feel really guilty sending them down again!

    Made it! And they were worth the scroll!
