Not withstanding those of you in the southern hemisphere surrounded
with beautiful blooms at this time of year, here is the view in my
garden today.

John : I love dogwoods. Is that cornus alba Sibirica? They look great.

Well, if you're going to start this, here's my backyard, hanging planters
and containers on the right. Not very artistic.

Maybe we should send Barbara a box of that white stuff.

Yes, that is what it is. I've had this stand of 12 in for a few years.
I cut it back to within a few inches of the ground in spring and I
pinch the shoots to get them to bush-out as much as possible. I don't
get many flowers that way, but point is the winter color. I notice
that they seem to get brighter as the weather gets colder.
