January 2013 Bloomday...

January Bloomday always a challange , firstly to get myself out on a grey and miserable day, once out , where  are you
hiding? Here you are, tiny violet under the scraggly  Cerenthe Major .

And here looking a bit battle warn from several frosts , a few Bergenia blooms  tucked  under   the  protection of  the shruby growth.        

And finally a small clump of Iberis umbellata , not the most exciting plant , but so useful this time of year and so forgiving when constantly be trampled by rampaging  dogs.

And for more January Blooms visit Carol at May Dreams Gardens
