late winter garden

i'm loving my winter garden --- it may not be as splashy as the atl bot gdn, but i get to look at mine every day, including this zygopetalum in my bedroom

atl bot gdn orchid daze got underway yesterday --- it's worth it for the orchids of course but their usual attempt to jazz it up in some way was fairly lame i thought --- they need to just concentrate on showing off the orchids --- 

the gardens were a bit of a mess --- all the cold weather has left its mark: the sago palm in the japanese garden is probably dead, and there are a lot of other things that are going to need a lot of pruning --- a few early jonquils and crocus but almost no camellias
