This shrub flowers in the cold winter months and is lightly scented. |
Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' flowers just starting to open. |

Pulsatilla vulgaris seed head.
Attractive seed heads. The leaves get quite a bit bigger after flowering. |

A winter flowering iris. Only a few inches high, but very welcome colour. |

I don't usually like Asters, but the blue tones and petal shape of this Aster amellus 'Blue King' is tempting me to plant it. |
Sedum telephium 'Matrona'. This clump forming sedum has darker leaves than S. spectabile and the flower heads are not as showy. I prefer its more reserved appearance. |

Hedera helix (ivy) on Boxing Day 2004. It was a very cold and crispy morning. |

Chamomile growing in our garden. I bought the seeds as 'lawn chamomile,' but they weren't. Pretty, though. |

Bees love Heleniums. I love them too, for their fiery colours. This is newly planted specimen and there should be a lot more flowers next year. |
