Blooming Seasonally

In the dead of winter, let us think of the azaleas of spring:



Let us remember the first daffodils of February:



We could force the flowers open, the way our female relatives used to do with Christmas cactus and amaryllis:




But for those of us with eyes to see, let us appreciate the spare beauty of winter, with its stripped branches and bare flower beds:





Even in a winter landscape, there are bursts of color:



And we can rest assured that Spring will come again, with its riotous explosion of flowers:
