My flat leaf parsley is still green and beautiful. It can still be used now, but I would be very surprised to see it in the spring. The same is not true for the tiny German chamomile plants that have come up around it. I have faith in those little plants to take whatever the winter has in store for us.
Creeping lemon theyme does well over the winter here. I have long since given up on the more upright varieties. I'm way too
My sweet woodruff still looking good. It a nice ground cover in the garden. It is not so rampant as to take out the Johnny-jump-ups or the tiny cardinal flower seen at the right of the picture.
Clumps of new cardinal flower plants still look good. They would prefer a nice snow cover to look this good in the spring. If it's going to be cold I like a nice warm blanket myself!
This Lewisia is really beautiful, but I wonder what it is up to with buds in December. Sometimes I just have to believe that my plants know what they are doing. Some plants bloom in desperation just before they die, but this one looks too good for me to expect that. This plant is one that I will dig into my pockets and replace in any case!
Last but hardly least the Emperor of China chrysanthemum has the red leaves that come with the cold, but still has a lovely pink bloom. I have never understood the growth habit of this plant, but who can resist a pink flower in December
