Hallson Gardens

It's January 1st. What's going on in your garden? Any blooms? Or interesting winter color? Here's what I found in my garden this morning. Please add your pictures!

Here's Callicarpa bodnieri, Beautyberry.

And, Hamamelis x intermedia, Witchhazel. Mine won't let go of the old leaves! I found the first flowers blooming today. It smells great!

You have to appreciate a gargoyle that knows how to age properly. This guy has a nice green "patina"

My Iris reticulata are popping up. They should be blooming sometime in February/March.

Hellebores are just starting to show bud, and some have bloomed!

More Hellebores

Cyclamen coum. Look at the deep wine colored center on the magenta Cyclamen!

Beautiful photos, Doris! Makes me miss my garden.

I have one blossom on a hypericum and that is it.

Pretty pictures. i have some little Green Kapitan spikes peeking up. But we may have snow this weekend. That can's be good! I also have Camellia blooming. Small bloooms but still blooms.

Man, are you lucky.......Don't know how I missed this, but I am glad I saw the beauties!!!

Thanks!!!

Yes! You are lucky. All we have here is snow & ice, for green you must look at what you have growing inside. Thanks for sharing. Now to settle in for the long winter's wait...

PS more pictures please

Oh you are sooo lucky to have beautiful things blooming in the winter. What zone are you? Love your pix- makes me look forward to spring

Doris, that isn't fair, but it sure is beautiful! Oh come one spring

Dolly, I'm in Washington state, Zone 8. Winters are cold and wet, but not a whole lot of weather below freezing.

Doris, you will be getting all these folks moving here with all those breath taking photos. We in the valley area love our winter gardens.

Very lovely....counting the days till spring....1,2,3, it seems I can't count that far...but we are having spring weather now.....so afraid it will prompt the plants into action...

My kingdom for somewhere warmer than zone 5!

lovely just lovely.

but i dont know if i want to give my summer up yet. even tho it is stinking hot here. the thought of a cold winter is scarey hahahahahaha. but i guess our winter is a bit kinder as we dont have snow so the roses dont always go dormant.

who would prefer spring all year.

Doris - Your garden sure is looking beautiful! I'm finding new treasures every day out in my yard, even in the bit of snow we had yesterday !
