Home Again - Hello Roses
'Crown Princess Margarita' I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering. This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished. The roses are especially a treat right now.

This winter hasn't been particularly hard on the garden...yet. That holly is gorgeous. I have an Italian Arum but it doesn't have the varigated leaves. It isn't invasive here.
ReplyDeletei love the Arum
ReplyDeleteGreat winter foliage, Phillip. Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThe holly is quite spectacular! Larry
ReplyDeletePhillip, how's your Winter Daphne doing? I lost one of mine. I need to call Petals and see if they have any.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not the only gardener to appreciate O'spring.
ReplyDeleteMerry Late Christmas Phillip! We too are having a nearly summer like end of year and since my year 'begins' early February... yet everything is still alive now, I'm starting to wonder what to do. I mean...the hydrangeas still have all their leaves on them!
ReplyDeleteYour winter photos demonstrate how much attention you put into the design of your garden. How wonderful to have that beauty all year!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of those viburnum leaves!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Phillip. I love arum. I've killed it once but maybe I should try again.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your O'Spring? I have not seen a variegated holly locally but would love one!
ReplyDeleteI like the rosemary!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I can't remember where I found the holly but I know that it was local. I'll see if I can find it in my gardening journal.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of that viburnum.
ReplyDeleteI just love all your winter foliage! That Viburnum is stunning...love that rich, sultry coloring!
