The season's first flowers

The Farther You Live from the equator, the less likely it becomes that you think of the
winter months as a time for flowering plants. In fact, many flowers can serve as an antidote
to the chilly gloom of winter, offering us color when we need it most. The plants described
here are among the best choices for winter flowers. They bloom reliably(sometime between
mid-November and late March), are easy to grow, and are durable enough to brighten the garden for many winters to come. All have good foliage-evergreen, in many cases- and hold
interest with striking leaves, sepals, and stems during other seasons, giving these winter
bloomers great garden value above and beyond their unique flowering period.
