Blooming Friday: February, week 3 – Winter hanging basket

I made up a hanging basket in October and filled it with Cyclamen and Violas for colour, plus a selection of evergreens. The shiny Sedum on the right was supposed to turn red during the cold weather.

Then came winter. Now the poor  Sedum looks dead and the flowers have gone into hiding.

Oh, no, that is too sad. Hopefully we’ll get a few rays of warming sun sin and your basket can revive.

One of my fingers is covered with a plaster, I suppose that’s why my typing isn’t up for it. It should be “soon” of course, not “sin”.

The spring is coming, (I’m hope) but very slowly.

Happy Blooming Friday..Luna

The cold weather has a lot to answer to hasn’t it. It did look beautiful in October though.

Nice to meet you and thanks for your visit.
Good idea to pop a shiny Sedum in a basket or tub.
Looks like a jade plant? No?

Beautiful basket! Before the winter came……
We’ve had about 50 cm of new snow tonight so the winter here is not going away for a long time……..
Have a nice weekend. /Anette

That’s too bad – but hopefully the plants are only asleep… It was a beautiful arrangement in October.
Enjoy the weekend!
