It's a Season of Contrasts

I'm on record as saying that I hate winter. And I do. But I cannot deny its beauty. Here is what is going on outside:

My front yard, taken a few days ago during a snow shower

And here is what is going on indoors:

New Monstera deliciosa leaf unfurling

Paphiopedilum flower about to open

Brand new Sansevieria trifasciata leaf, among its older, darker brethren

New Zamioculcas zamiifolia leaf, just beginning to loosen

How's that for ringing in the new, a couple of days early?
