My first slide show effort. Will try to improve loading
time and everything else. Scroll down for id and uhmm, remarks... Oh, you have
to click on that right arrow a bunch to see all of the slides.
Cornus angustata
Evergreen Chinese Dogwood and lovely farm truck Yellow-berried Nandina - wonder what the birds think, "Is it poison?" Daphne - Garden of Nancy Spencer Burford Holly - limbed up in June (Yes Randy, now we have more space). Narrow leaf Aucuba - not all Aucuba is boring! Pinus densiflora 'Oculus Draconis'
Dragon Eye Pine - Edgeworthia 'Gold Rush'- ooh...fragrant too... Hardy Cyclamen - tuff enuf in Mt. Airy,NC Helleborus foetida - pulease...it does NOT stink. Witchhazel - Garden of Erika Forbes Long Stalk Holly - I want to call it Long Tall Sally. Mahonia - mine pokes through a hydrangea. Sort of covers the hydrangea winter uglies. Stranvaesia (groundcover) - think violin...sort of Sweetbox - a favorite for shady spots. Crape Myrtle - Garden of Nancy Spencer Weeping Norway Spruce -Do you see 'Puff' the Magic Dragon here? I prefer this to something more evil. Weeping Chinese Hackberry - weird and well, weird at the same time. Weeping Styrax - usually these little bald headed beauties have some shade... Winter Gold Pine - ignore me in summer, adore me in winter Winter Shade Garden - makes me happy.
Michael Dirr describes this as "muddy yellow-brown in winter". You can tell that he doesn't live with North Carolina mud! (See mud in photo)...and see Suggested Reading Resources for what we call the Plant Bible by Dr. Dirr.
