Flowers in the frost

By the time we finished at the Glyptoteket and wandered through town, stopping for a hot-dog from a stand (a delicious proper sausage with warmed bun and condiments)and for hot sugar-toasted almonds, and then for more almonds ... it was 3pm when we got to the Botanical Gardens. Which is a shame because although the garden itself is open until 4pm, the winter garden closes at 3. Still, we weren't disappointed - despite the cold, there were some lovely surprises -
...hellebores


... golden crocus


... tiny purple cyclamen


... snowdrops


... and several of these golden carpets of crocus underneath the bare-leaved trees


We had no idea WHAT to make of this statue!!
