Here’s how the garden looked today.  Pretty awesome.  I don’t think many words are necessary!

White camellias in bloom!

The pictures of the glossy green leaves above are a camellia shrub.  You can see the flower buds swelling.  They’ll open this winter.

Espaliered cotoneaster.

I think the red berries are a viburnum, judging from the leaves.

See the rock to the right of the lantern in the water?  Two turtles sunning.

They were ready for their close-up shots.

 

This plant is this red…these are not flowers, they are leaves!
