Merry Christmas 🎄
Here's a collage of flowers from this year, including most from the #FlowerAdventCalendar hashtag. I enjoy sharing our garden during the year, and this is a way to reflect on some small beautiful things that are right before us.

The curb strip pollinator garden for today's December 22nd Advent flowers. This is achillea millefolium, agastache, and volunteer stachys. All the bees, bee flies, and butterflies love this flower bed. I saw a bombus melanopygus this year, after several years of no sightings.

An older photo from August 2022, with Winnie (Golden) and Josie next to the hydrangea I call "Big Blue Ruffles" for the fourth Sunday of Advent, December 21, 2025. My first successful hydrangea propagation was from this plant.
