Garden Affair : Winter Days and Garden

 Winter has been unpredictable this year with very warm December  and contradictory January starting on a note with hard hitting cold wave . Now when we are into the second fortnight of January temperature has risen and few of the early spring annuals are already showing up blooms. The talks regarding Global warming seems becoming reality. 

                                       I would had never expected Schzianthus blooming in January

Petunias are already in full  bloom in January this year

Snapdragons blooming in January is surprising             

If the present  weather  condition will persist Spring  season seems to be coming early this year.                   

On that note This is the time for link up party Garden Affair where you can share posts regarding Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will be open for a week.
