Seasonably Unbalanced

We have all been having a strange Winter this year. My poor mint tea has come up during the past couple weeks, and the cold snap has been a little hard on it. As you can see the nice green color has turned to more of a brown. Fortunately it is a tough plant, so when it is ready to get warm and stay warm, it will sprout again, and bring forth some delicious mint tea.

Very pretty

[Melissa Pike]

Mmm, I can almost smell it! This really has been such a weird winter - all the plants around here are all confused too!

[Aaron]

I agree with you about the weather, it's been very strange this year.

[Terry]

[Brian Baptie]

Strange old year weather wise!!

[Kimmi]

Glad it will sprout again when the weather is better

[Nancy Holte]

It sure is pretty, though.

[karenann]

Resiliant stuff that mint . . makes good tea too.

[Anne ❀]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I love mint tea. I am definitely going to grow mint this year! Nice shot.

[Arnold Garza]

Poor mint leaves...great shot!! I love mint...I'll have to make tea too, sounds good!!

[Laurie Higgins]

Fabulous details on this, Rick. I hope the plant doesn't get hit with more cold. And I hope all went well yesterday.

[Carolyn Sue]

very nice close up!

[Carolyn White]

I've never had mint tea, but I remember picking wild mint when I was little. It was tasty.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great close-up. It's the same over here. While normally this time of the year would show the beginning of spring we still having mid-winter weather.

[cglist]

Gorgeous detail and lighting! Mint is pretty hardy, I'm sure it will be fine!

[Rick Schies]

@lauriehiggins Laurie, thanks. It was a great day, couldn't have gone better.

[Lois P]

Nice shot.
Hope your day went well Rick.

The colours look pretty in your pic - but probably not so good for the plant. Really nice focus and composition!

[Lynda Parker]

Poor little plant... it'll come back and give you plenty of mint tea... but I do love the colours it's got now; even though it's out of season and strange for it to grow now.

[Tara]

Great documentation of this weird winter. I wonder what's going to happen to the daffodil buds.

[Sharon]

Strange weather here too! Great focus!

[Margaret Tryon]

Such a strange winter. Wonderful focus in this shot.

[adobe waters]

[Beverly Carmichael]

Your photo today is excellent! It's nice to see something green, anything will do. Thanks!

[Shirley Banford]

Lovely light falling on this beautiful mint. Good shot.

[Howard Steele]

nice one

[Laurie Higgins]

@digitalrn So happy to hear that, Rick. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers.

[Courtney]

Oh, I hope your bad weather is behind you so your plant doesn't suffer any more. Glad that things are going well for you all.

[ann]

I see! We still have March to get through yet. I hope it's no worse than Jan. and Feb!

[Pam Hawkes]

Great details and lighting. I love the smell of fresh mint.

[Matt Clendon]

Mint is a very hardy plant. I think your mint tea will be safe for a long time to come.

[Rick Schies]

I like the tiniest leaf in the very center! I'm sorry it has grown too early but I'm glad it will be back.
