Beauty at the end of the year

My name is Alice Fleurkens , and I survive in Sweaburg , Ontario . This year has been particular because we made quite a few changes , and I can hardly wait for bound to see what thing are going to look like .

This fall clematis(Clematispaniculata , Zones 4–8 ) is a new addition that I had never hear before until a lady bear witness me a impression of hers . I may just have to get another one for the back fence .

The sedums(Sedum‘Autumn Joy ’ , Zones 3–9 ) are always so beautiful in the evenfall , and I get out some all winter long for color in the garden . The bees perfectly love them . They are always swarming with honeybees , and so are the blue salvia .

My favourite Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree . I lay the big pot next to it sidelong for loose storage in winter .

There is certainly nothing boring about the wintertime garden . But unremarkably it would be full of snowfall . The beautiful rockspray cotoneaster(Cotoneasterhorizontalis , Zones 5–7 ) , full of red berries , is really the best variety to imbed . It grows so gracefully over the rocks and is just loaded with beautiful red Chuck Berry in winter and livid flowers in spring . It also is much enjoy by the honeybees and humblebee .

And thelavenderalso looks great all wintertime . We have had no C. P. Snow for most of December — so strange . My husband took a photograph of a florescence dandelion in our front yard on December 28 .
