The rains were not too bad actually. My succulents outdoors endured well. It was more when the skies was too cloudy and overcast when my tall aeoniums are looking sad, they wanted stronger light. Thankfully it is dry time now, temps rising and nice clear blue skies.

The only plant I seem to miss out this winter is my Kniphofia sarmentosa. Usually it should have given me bloomstalks now, but I see none. I guess it did not like the long soggy period, it prefers just cold and dry.

Glad to really see my Pelargoniums back, they were almost sticks already, but now with the rainfall, they are back to growing nice big leaves.

I do have a lot of clean-up to do in my little garden, since I had some lingering back pain since Thanksgiving, thankfully it is gone now woohoo! Just in time, Spring is coming about, got to clean up outside and do some needed repot when temps warm up some more. I really want to move outdoors my other overwintered plants, my cat Jewel has been feasting on some leaves of my orchids. Rolling my eyes.
