One of Winter’s Survivors

It looks like the weather will change on Friday as the fine spell continued on Thursday. Once again there wasn't much sunshine but with only a light breeze and the temperature nudging 20.3°C in felt very pleasant.

Last January I posted a picture of a geranium, (or more accurately pelargonium), in our neighbour’s garden which with the help of some protection from a bay window had managed to survive the winter outside. 
Well it made it through the rest of what turned out to be a very mild winter with no real severe frosts. The geranium is still growing under the bay window and is now in full bloom.

  1. Our Geraniums have survived the mild winter too, although the general southeast forecast is rain tomorrow I am doubting that we in Eastbourne will get any, the soil is very dry.

    1. Drizzly all day here but not any good for the garden. Much cooler though only 13°C this afternoon.

  2. The plant is looking very well. Pelargoniums/geraniums are great wee plants.

    1. We bought three new geraniums this week for a display in a terracotta pot. Our test will be to see if we can over winter them.
