So it's definitely all right to have "the blues" at your place Hans. They'd keep us very cheerful.
I like the way the flowers on Lav. pinnatifida twist around the stem. I don't recall that from when I had it.

It looks beautiful Anne, though I'm not sure the plants would agree

The blues look lovely Hans, which of the lavendulas would be the most hardy?
I have a rosemary wintering indoors, I noticed yesterday it was getting buds. :)

Anne, my garden looks much like yours, without the hamamelis, which looks beautiful in the snow.

Truly beautiful. I believe even Oxford St in London has been deserted because of snow.

Snow on the ground is a good way to design new areas or beds. Just walk where it seems natural to walk and you can see the lines without having to lay down ropes or hoses. Just have to remember where you walked, or push in markers of some kind.

I only had a couple of inches of snow, it wasn't even enough to cover this crocus.

Hopefully there will be some more overnight.

I also took a pic of a witch hazel with snow on the flowers!

At least you HAVE a waist. I don't think I have nowadays. Perhaps the snow is too deep for you though.
