Quiet Rebellion
I have a special fondness for winter flowering cherries.
You’ve got to admire their quiet determination to do their own thing, no matter how incongruous it may seem to see their delicate flowers on a chilly and gloomy November day.
It’s as if it know its fragile beauty would be overshadowed by its showier cousins in the spring time. At that time of the year, its small pale flowers would just get lost among the bright colours and the harsh spring sunshine.
Instead, it has chosen to disregard the rules and find its own special time to flower, when no other tree or plant will steal its spotlight.
Then, when the season is right and nature is quieting down, when the light is soft and grey, then it really can just stop you on your tracks.

What a beautiful post Heidi – words and pictures. Hope you have a great Xmas. D x
Thank you! I hope you have a good Christmas too 🙂
They look beautiful. It is not a tree I am familiar with but worth finding out about. Amelia
Heidi, I see your “likes” on my blog a lot, and I don’t know how to get in touch with you to check on you. Your email never shows up anywhere. Mine is texasstorm at outlook dot com if you ever feel up to just a quick message. I miss your posts and I hope you are doing alright! ❤
Hello TextileRanger, so nice to hear from you! I haven’t been very well with my CFS/ME for the last couple of years, so I haven’t been able to photograph or write much, hence my complete silence on the blog front. But I do feel slightly better now, so I have recently started an Instagram page (@seagreen.and.sapphire). I’ll drop you line in the next few days to say hello… 🙂
