Garden catalogues

There has to be a use for winter and I think this gorgeous shrub is one of the prime things to be looking out the window in a vague swoon.  This is a small group of Berberis thunbergii ‘Ring of Gold’ and ‘Aurea’ both in full tilt seeds. I didn’t really have to decorate the garden with this kind of flush of magnificence.  I can’t recommend these plants enough. They are great.

But it’s time for the great catalogue rush and as they come in I’ll pick out some really dishy stuff for 2010.  Meantime.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
