Last week in Central Park:
Some plants think it's August.
At least one thinks it's May.
But the one I'm really worried about is this little beauty.
What are they going to do come next March?

They got a slap of reality this morning.
Crazy!!
Poor things!
Happy Holidays to all.
Best,
Stephen
Just saw snowdrops blooming in a few places in P.Slope and thought of this post. Not good.
