Winter Blooms

On Christmas Eve, it snowed... just a little bit, but enough to bring a smile to my face and a dusting to the ground. One of my favorite plants in the winter is the Holly. Deep green or variegated, red berries or yellow, their strong beauty in the winter landscape is a welcome sight.

Here is my variegated Holly bursting with red berries this time of year, under a dusting of snow.


Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and has a very happy new year!
