Icicle pansies blooming on January 1, 2012 in Syracuse NY

I don't ever remember seeing any flowers blooming outdoors in January during my entire lifetime living here in Syracuse, NY, but these icicle pansies are amazing!  This is a picture Raymond took yesterday out by the garage (they're even nicer today at 50 degrees).  The weather is expected to deteriorate later today, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying this little bit of heaven. -PD

Congrats on the pansies! It is a marvel at this time of year in CNY. I have a Lenten/Pascal Rose (helleborus) which has sprouted 3 months early here in Vestal! What a crazy, warm winter thus far. However, reality intrudes; Enjoy your LES over the next day or so.

I wasn't familiar with the Pascal rose, so I looked it up-quite lovely! I am thinking of adding it to my garden this year.

We plant pansies in the Fall in Tallahassee, FL. They bloom all winter.
