A few weeks ago, we had a heavy frost that killed off most of my red salvia along my front walk. This was followed by a couple of weeks of unseasonably warm weather. I was surprised to see new green leaves coming out at the base of the plants I had broken off. Two of the last plants near the sheltered door did not freeze. They kept on blooming and some of the frosted one grew enough to bloom as you see in the top photo.

Dear Dwight, may I ask you to read my tomorrow’s post (24 December) as it is a wholly uplifting story,
about the extraordinary man whose life was made into a film. It will stay with you for a long time and it will let your heart…
Thank you!

Hi
I changed my wordpress site title and URL not knowing that it would make me loose 200+ followers I’ve gained since 2017. If you were previously following my blog named amourauteur, you might want to go to my blog and re-follow me if you wish to continue receiving my posts. I’d love your continued support. Thanks 🙂

What a wonderful Christmas surprise, Dwight. The Salvia is so happy.
I have two big pots next to the house and they also have surprised me. My
thoughts are that they like the heating leaking out from a warm house.😊🌺.
