One of the things I love about Heather is its determined nature, blooming right on schedule no matter the conditions. This little plant flowers in my front yard every winter providing bright spots of color in a season filled with green, brown and white.

I love this photo, brilliant 🙂
Thanks so much, I’m really happy to hear you like it!
How delightful!
Thanks Nancy! I was making the most of our snow day. 😉
i really love this shot. Heather grows against all the elements in scotland, so NW US must be a piece of cake 😉
Thanks. 🙂 Yes, Heather is pretty happy here in the PNW!
Brilliant!
Thanks Jim. 🙂
So pretty, and so tough!
I agree! 🙂
LOL. I wonder how it would fare here, with no rain for weeks and high thirties and low forties (Celsius) day after day!
Those conditions might be a little too much for it. 🙂

We have some in our front garden. Without the snow covering, I’m happy to say 🙂 (so far!)
I’m glad you enjoy it too!
Lovely tenacious plant!
Thanks Sue, tenacious is a great word!
It is! 🙂
What beautiful heather, and of course it takes more than a little snow to deter these Scottish beauties 🙂
Oh yes, it’s plenty tough enough to stand up to snow. 😉
A lovely shot. A burst of colour against the snow.
Thanks LD, I liked the color against white too. 🙂
Spectacular, Lisa.
Thank you Andra. 🙂

Thanks so much Joshi. 🙂
Fabulous image for the theme, Lisa. That heather is very hardy indeed, and so pretty. 🙂
Thanks Sylvia, I always happy I can look to Heather for some color in winter. 🙂
What a gorgeous photo.!! And I did not know that about heather.! Thanks.!
Thanks and you’re welcome Rose!
Beautiful 🙂 They look like jewels. You must have greeted them with a huge smile. I would 😀
You’re right Paula, I do smile when I see them!
Beautiful photo. It’s so easy sitting here in sunshine listening to the cicadas, to be envious of snow and all the wonderful “photo opportunities” it creates – but I hope that you are all ok and not suffering too hard in what seems like a tough winter. 🙂
Thanks Sue, fortunately our winter hasn’t been as difficult here as in the eastern US but I do miss sitting in the sunshine. 🙂 Enjoy your summer!
Love the snow garden shot. Melody
Thanks so much Melody. 🙂
So pretty! Fresh, vibrant, strong and beautiful peeking through the snow.
Thanks! Now they are standing up in the rain. 😉

I think it’s incredible that they bloom despite the temps.
The snow looks real pretty sprinkled on the violets.
Sweet !!!!

Thanks. 🙂 They are very hardy and I love that you can buy spring, summer and winter flowering varieties. I have at least one blooming in every season!
what a great capture!
