Charleston Holidays

Now that the 2015 holiday season is ending, the Flower Walker finally has a few minutes to post a couple of her photographs from the past few weeks. It was an incredibly warm December, and as I pen this post, I am reminded of the irony of seeing my hibiscus plants still blooming on my front patio while my camellias, elephant ears and coleus are in bloom on my back patio. These plants just don’t usually bloom in the same cycle together, but it makes for an interesting garden!

Charleston could not have been lovelier than the city was this past December with historic buildings and private residences all decorated.

And my back patio camellias finally came into beautiful bloom!

We headed over to Edisto after Christmas and spent a lovely day at the Hollings ACE Basin Preserve. The live oaks and Spanish Moss were beautiful!

Then back to Charleston and had a lovely walk at Hampton Park where I photographed these prehistoric looking Mustard Green plants.

And then on New Year’s Eve, I finally made a Lemon pie with those ripe lemons growing on my front patio step for the last several weeks!
