We went to Abkhazi Garden last weekend with my sister. It was cold day for Victoria. It even froze overnight! But the sun was shining. We even had tea at the tea house, which is pricey, but is a nice spot looking over the gardens.
There wasn't a lot growing yet in the garden. It was still January. How soon we forget Saskatchewan. It's interesting how even the same type of plants flower at different times here. Cherry blossoms or rhododendrons will suddenly flower in the middle of winter instead of at their usual time.
One of the earliest spring flowers are the snowdrops.
There weren't as many Christmas Roses (Black Hellebore) flowering as I remember from last year. I didn't find a good actual flower to photograph, but I like the dark leaves.
The rhododendrons weren't out yet, but the buds are waiting patiently.
There were only a few spring crocuses out. (Not the same kind as on the prairies.)
The surface of the pond had actually frozen overnight and made some interesting patterns and reflections.
