Leaves Blackened

On Thursday I mentioned that there seemed to be some confusion around the gardens amongst the plants, confused as to which season they were in. Well, following a very cold weekend, the Dahlia 'David Howard' and Fuchsia 'Mrs Popple' have finally realised that the winter has now arrived, (The photo above is the same Dahlia in Thursday's posting). The snowdrops, unperturbed by the cold, will, hopefully, now slow down their march towards floral splendor.
