We just came out of a couple days of snow and yesterday was still cold but I managed to finally get the rest of the leaf protection cleaned up decently. We have 4 days of rain forecast so yesterday was rather dreary out for photos but my winter Heather was the only thing blooming so I got some photos of it.
I love the Heather but unfortunately several of these had some die off that I had to prune out of there. It should grow and fill back in fairly quick this Spring.
These 2 are Golden Starlet and Spring Cottage. Both blooming right now, but I especially love the Golden Startlet since it stays golden year round and really don't care if it gets the white blooms or not since it is always so pretty with the foliage alone.

At least something are blooming in your garden, soon it will be filled with colourful blooms and foliage!
I have the pink but have never saw the white before. How pretty!
I love white flowers!
Heather doesn't grow well here. Too hot/humid, I think. Yours are very pretty. :o)
I love heather, but it doesn't grow in NM. Thanks for posting pics.
I don't grow heather and I really should ... if only for my husband's Scottish heritage. Yours is impressive, and inspires me to try some. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a nice comment. And welcome to Blotanical ... I left you a message there. P. x
The contrast of the yellow and purple is very striking! Im sure its nice to have a bit of colour after a cold winter...
Thanks for following my blog too!
Yes those are lovely even just for their foliage, and the vegetative form is also nice. Thanks for visiting my site too.
Everything will be popping now. Hopefully that will be last of the cold. Can't wait to see it all come to life in your gardens. So glad you came by to visit my blog. I'm a new follower of yours and am looking forward to our friendship.
I like how you have placed them side by side for greater interest.
Aah, spring is such an exciting time :) XOL
pretty white flowers! Happy gardening!
Nice blog! I found you on blotanical, by the way.
What gardening zone are you in, in Ohio? I garden in zone 4a in Ontario.
We don't have these plants here but they definitely look cute with the little flowers.
I have Mexican heather in my flower garden which does grow in Arizona. It flowered profusely last spring, and the bees loved the flowers. The flowers died off by midsummer when we are at 110 here, but the foliage does stay green all year. Mine are just starting to flower. Thanks for your nice comment. It means a lot to have a follower when new like I am at blogging.
I have false heather (cuphea) that looks quite similar to these. I like their pretty little flowers.
I also have a yorkie and a silky terrier. Toby, the yorkie, is quite intelligent, stubborn, and a great companion. Phoebe, the silky, is a rescue. We are very patiently waiting for her to open up. She's young, so we are confident she'll come around. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your's is lovely. Take care, Mary Gnome
I absolutely love your back yard, if it looks this charming after it just snowed its going to thrive in another month or so. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

It has been in the upper eighties here in southeast Texas. Everything is so dry. I am following you back.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following! I'm following back. ;) I look forward to seeing your garden grow. I've always wanted to have a small flower garden, but I don't seem to have a green thumb.
Maybe I'll gain the inspiration I need from you to try again. :)
Have a great week,
Jennifer
Hi, thanks for your comment on ernieandi. I feel for you having snow, we've had the most amazing weather here in the UK - almost unheard of temperatures for April. Look forward to seeing your garden in the summer. Martin

Your garden is beautiful! My husband is the one with the green thumb -- he loves gardening. The most I do it help pick out the plants and flowers. He plants them and does the upkeep :)
