White winter

It can be frosty in Como, oh yes, but snow is a rare occurrence. When it snows, though, it snows copiously. Like it did last night. Here’s how our white winter looks like.

The garden is hidden under a fluffy white blanket.

A palm exotically looking under snow

Too cold for this little spring fella.

Winter (left) and autumn putti seem to enjoy it

The herb patch, heavily blanketed by snow

Hard to tell that irises and violets are under here

Poor roses…

Wintersweet hasn’t lost is scent despite all this snow

Rosemary needles are frozen

Interesting patterns of the persimmon tree

The laurel branches are bending down like a willow

And, finally, the winter garden fairy
