Winter Colors #1


Verbascum bombiciferum

I discovered flowers in my garden yesterday, little Johnny-jump-up violas; sweet and welcome in the mid-winter drabness. As I continued strolling around, enjoying the sunshine and warmth (temps in the mid 60’s), I was surprised to see how many plants look good right now in their winter foliage. Some plants are very green and fresh looking, some look cozy in their furry grey, and others are boasting in red and purple. What plants are contributing to your winter garden vista?
Vinca minor

Helianthemum nummularium


Mahonia aquifolium compacta



Iberis sempervirens
