Winter Flowers





I have a hanging strawberry plant & it's still blooming & fruiting, though last night it was 40F, so I thought I'd post a few pics showing what the strawberry looks like when it is a flower & what it looks like (green) as it grows & ripens into the well known berry.

The other 2 pics are of an Angel's Trumpet/Datura, native to the Americas. I have waited 3 years for this to bloom & finally it has, in December. It has a little bit of fragrance, it might be stronger if it were warmer. I have a bright pink Oleander & it becomes fragrant only if it is above 70F.
