Pretty cool color combinations, huh. It’s from Uzbekistan.

Maaaybe. These things seem to like my garden. So far.
What’s insane is that it didn’t snow this past week up there. Is it December-February, and nobody told me? Seriously, great plant catches…you should see the last plants here erupting! That iris = wow!
Despite all the complaining from yours truly, the snow was very beneficial. It’s evident in the way the garden is responding right now.
