Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - December 2013

Here's what's blooming in my Austin, Texas garden this December 15th.  Sub-freezing temperatures last week knocked out everything but these five bloomers:

gray globemallow (Sphaeralcea incana),

Pacific chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum pacificum),

and, from inside the pop-up greenhouse, a cluster of gloriously-scented Meyer lemon blossoms.
