July from my chair, with the fish doing a nice job echoing the color of the day-lilies. That the great thing about gardening…wonderful things happen quite by accident.
June 2017 in the garden with shrub roses going full tilt.
Mid-January and a rare sunny day. Rain drops are glistening on the barberry (Berberis thunbergii, Zones 4 – 8) and the primroses in foreground are budding up. The chocolate vine (Akebia quintata, Zones 4 – 8) on the wall keeps its leaves through the winter which I like. Its a much less messy vine than evergreen clematis.
We don’t get much snow here and it doesn’t last, but we had a rare white Christmas this year. I think the heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica, zones 6 – 9) makes a nice outdoor “northern poinsettia”.
My favorite winter flower, the pink dawn viburnum (Viburnum × bodnantense‘Pink Dawn’, zones 5 – 7). Tiny pink flowers, heavenly perfume. Typically this shrub starts to bloom in December and continues till March. Its not in my yard, my attempt to grow it has not been very successful. This is closer to the water in a Memorial Garden where I volunteer.
