GORGEOUS PANSY!
MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE THE PHOTOS PRINTED AND ENLARGED AND STICK THEM ON OUR WINDOWS!
It's cold out there today but the garden is just how I like it in February

Everything in it's own time, Wonky.

I see your point Bob, how do you chose just one time of year! Its nice to be reminded of whats to come though!
To enlarge on your comment about putting up a pic Wonks - I think you can get blinds custom made with your own photos, in the same way you can get cushions and mugs - and everything else under the sun
A kitchen blind for the winter time might not be a bad idea!
Mine doesn't look too different in winter - for that very reason. I just added bulbs and summer flowering perennials and annuals to the structure.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Love the blind idea Fairy!
although I wonder if we would love it so much if we didn't miss the garden in the winter months 
I didn't know much when I started my garden and it turned out I made a herbaceous boarder so quite a contrast in seasons! 
That bed is mainly herbaceous, Wonky and looks pretty dire right now (might brave it and take a photo in a bit.) I ought to add some evergreens to give it winter interest but by the time I usually get around to considering that, it's so rampant with growth that there's no space to plant anything!

I love the spring time, when the bulbs have finally appeared and they are like a box of exploding colourful fireworks.
And of course the summer months, when you get sit back and smell the flowers and reap your rewards.
