Ah, how\u00a0 do I miss Christmas already. Presents are all unwrapped. Leftovers consumed.\u00a0 Lights and ornaments going down to be put away to make an appearance next year. The flurry of the holidays have come and gone and once again I find myself…now here — facing winter. I want to go hibernate.<\/p>\n

Winter.\u00a0 Although it is mild here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sarracenia\u00a0 are all asleep in their winter dormancy. In this quiet time, there is much gardening going in my mind, potting and thinking ahead for the oncoming seasons. I still do have some work to do trimming pitchers, and repotting some plants, but for now I admire their slumber.<\/p>\n

I took a few quick video shots of my plants and wanted to share this with you.\u00a0 (Sorry – pardon the jerky-ness. I do not have a steadycam for this sorta thing and this was a spur of the moment shoot…)\u00a0 It’s a video of much dead foliage.\u00a0 I just look past that and envision the blooms, pitchers, and the crosses I’ll be making next season. The dead foliage will give way to life soon…<\/p>\n

Without further adieu — may I present, Winter.
