The front garden

Iris stylosa

Hamamelis, maybe ‘Diane’, and pieris

Allan’s garden

One one of the two old apple trees

One of the tall mahonias

Fatsia japonica ‘Spider’s Web’

I sneak all the teacups and teapots into this garden.

A reminder to cut off the old hellebore leaves. Which I remembered to do later that day.

Back garden

trailing rosemary in an old galvanized garbage can

Hamamelis, smells like apricots

winter browns

Panicum ‘Northwind’

Senecio ‘Sunshine’ (by its outdated name)

Fabulous foliage and a golden-leaves fuchsia

The fire circle and Bogsy Wood

Viburnum opulus

…also known as guelder rose, but it is not a rose

Cyclamen ‘Lil Silva’

Cornus ‘Midwinter Fire’

Geranium macrorrhizum and a reminder that I need to pull out assorted bits of English ivy

Cyclamen from Our Kathleen

Another mahonia
