Wednesday Vignette:


I am loving the colors on the Monterey Cypress. This is Cupressus macrocarpa 'Wilma Goldcrest' that I purchased at Xera last spring. It was tiny when I bought it and has grown quite a bit although it is still very small.

Wednesday Vignette is hosted by Anna at Flutter and Hum.

  5. It's a lovely specimen and I was impressed to learn that it's also lemon-scented. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that it would find my area of SoCal hospitable.

  6. Beautiful blend of colors that reminds me of an Aloe. There are some with the foliage that shade of green.
