 Annabelle
you will hold your beauty throughout the winter
your dried petal hands reaching out for snow
and I will gaze upon you from the kitchen window
  sing your winter praises high and low

  2. My Annabelle Hydrangeas stay all winter too. I just do not have the heart to strip their beauty from the branches until new blooms come in spring. A winter treasure.
