It may be Christmas Eve, but the pinks are still flowering. A nice little posy of them picked today for the Christmas table; the progeny of cuttings taken from a stem in a bunch of supermarket flowers some years ago. The buds are pink, but the flowers open white with a deep pink base. Unseasonal, but welcome.
The weather is still windy and mostly mild, although tomorrow is to be clear and colder. Still nothing really cold in the forecast - just as well, as I haven't got round to putting up the greenhouse bubblewrap yet. Most of the tulips are now planted. I'm taking comfort from the memory of the winter a few years ago when the ground (and bags of compost) were too frozen to plant anything until January; the tulips still came up all the same. Here's to a floriferous 2015!
