From the frosty to the tropical, a presentation of Christmas
color and cheer... filmed at Lily Pond and Corliss Bros.
Garden Center & Nursery... enjoy the juxtaposition!
color and cheer... filmed at Lily Pond and Corliss Bros.
Garden Center & Nursery... enjoy the juxtaposition!
Frosty mornings that produceunexpected Christmas color.
Sunrises that make you glad to arise.
Intricate, frozen "stars" adorn the windshield.
Poinsettias soaking up the morning sun.
Seasonal frosting!
Landscape your living room...how about a striking white Poinsettia?
Just an ornamental dusting on my garden gate.
Red is traditional, but...
why not something a little more exotic?
So many hybrids, so little space...
A thoughtful gift to add color and warmth,long beyond the holidays!
More of those Wentworth Viburnum berries!
Cyclamen ... perfect for cool windows,with early or late sun.
Unique blossoms float above patterned,heart-shaped foliage. Nice for giving or receiving!
More "snowflakes."
If standard varieties are too large, how about a miniature Cyclamen? Now these little cuties are easily accommodated and make a most thoughtful hostess gift, during the holiday season.It was a weekend of contrasts, all fitting in perfectly with the Christmas season. And, as you can see, Lily Pond received both heavy frost and decorative snow flurries... which makes the warm Christmas Shop at Corliss all the more inviting, with its decorations, gifts and lush floral displays. I hope you're already enjoying this wonderful season!

Deb .. what pretty pictures and what gorgeous pointsettias and the cyclamen too !
I wish I could have the poinsettia in my house but I just know Sophie and Emma would be at them constantly .. do the boys bother yours at all ? .. I know Lucy wouldn't she is too well mannered !
LOL : )
Joy ~ Thanks! No plants of any type... real or silk... in our tiny house. I'm sure that live plants would be considered as a salad course, and I know that any silk plant would be systematically dismembered and strewn throughout the house.
So, I have to enjoy them at work and through my photos. And, you're right about Lucy... she loves to sniff flowers and help me search for photogenic mushrooms, but has never destroyed even a leaf in the garden. I'm still not sure what I did to deserve such an awesome pup!
BTW, she just turned 12 on Thanksgiving.
Okay I have to tell you that seasonal frosting picture is absolutely spectacular. I beat I stared at it for five minutes. Great, great job.

Very Inspiring! I cannot believe how close we are to celebrating Christmas! I don't know how time can fly so quickly. Thank you. :-)
Ralph ~ Thank you so much! That really means a lot to this very amateur photographer. It was such a nifty snowfall, stacking itself across branches and structures and not requiring more than a broom for the steps.
Shady ~ My first attempt at snow photography with the digital camera. It was fun, as was capturing the Points and Cyclamen. You're right - time is passing so quickly this season!
Like living in your very own winter wonderland!
Loved all the photos! No matter what blog of yours I visit, I enjoy them all. I think we've only had one frosty morn and it was wimpy. Yours looks prettier.
Angie ~ Indeed! Whether I'm home at work, there's always something to provide that visual holiday feast.
Anna ~ I'm positively blushing! Although, in all honesty, I really can't take credit for the frost and snow enhancements. Seriously, that is such a nice compliment, knowing the great photos that you always post.
Your comment about my other blogs?
Wow ~ thanks! They are not frequently visited, so I'm very appreciative for that one.
I just discovered the secret of adding customized musical playlists, so I'm still playing around with that... FUN! I'll be by, soon.
