A Christmas Mystery

A few weeks ago on my way out the front door, I noticed this flower blooming in our front flower bed.:

We have no idea where it came from--we didn't plant it--and why it chose to bloom in December! The amazing thing is, it's still out there blooming away 3 weeks later--and we've had some pretty cold days and nights since then!

Where did it come from? Why did it bloom in December? And how on earth has it survived the frigid winter weather for so long?

It's not just a Christmas mystery--it must be a Christmas miracle!

Frank gets the credit for actually taking the photo...but I told him to do it!

There's a German Christmas hymn that's appropriate here: "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming"

It was written by a monk in the middle ages after he found a rose growing in the monastery courtyard in the middle of December.
