What a Difference a Week Makes

The last post included photos from a snow storm a week ago. I brought your attention to some purple flowers that were poking out under the snow. This post is some close ups of some of the flowers in that snow covered garden one week later, along with a rose just a few feet away. Yes, if you look close you can see some signs of winter taking over and a little damage to the plants, but overall they look pretty good. Apparently the bee seems to think the pollen is still good for his honey too.
Note: As always, if you want to see the photo enlarged just double click on it.
