In reply to Michael. The hibernating pollinators wake up on warm days and need something to eat. Birds nibble on the flowers for something fresh and nectar in the winter.

My camellia bushes flower twice in the summer and once (or Twice) in December/January every year. I’m in the Southeastern Pennsylvania area. Winters aren’t quite as cold as they used to be in December/January many years ago; but it still gets quite cold. They are beautiful and hardy two things I’m not.

Not to quibble, but as a farmer in the upper Midwest, I can assure you that since December 20th, the days are indeed getting longer. Its 1° With 15mph winds today, gotta find hope where we can!

Dear Editors: While this may be an “interesting article” for the less knowledgable gardener, it is my view that this article is not well-selected for publication on a website publication devoted to progressive/innovative/environmental friendly farming. The article reads as if its audience are gardeners. While it is well-written for tat audience, I do not see it as particularly interesting for farmers.

Very interesting article. I had no idea there were so many winter-flowering plants. My question now is, if flowers’ purpose is to attract pollinators, what pollinators are around in the winter?
