Lovely evergreens clarice. They really are the backbone of a garden I think. The shrub to the left of the spotted laural (Aucuba isn't it?) looks like a Choiysia. Does it get pretty white flowers in Spring. I have the golden variety of it, Sundance. Your's all look very healthy, and Campanula still looking good after all the cold weather. Maybe your temperatures haven't been as bad as here in Norfolk. Many of my perennials which weren't cut back now have frost damage. They'll be ok, but don't look nice just now.

Thanks Mad for telling me the name of the shrub yes it does have white flowers in spring and i can't wait for it to come now.

Happy New Year, Clarice. Lovely to see your plants after your snow earlier one. We had snow here again this morning but it was proper snow this time, lovely big flakes and it didn't feel so cold :)

You have some lovely ever greens, I love the spotted laurel very nice.

Interesting to see your evergreens, Carol - that Aucuba is a different one from mine. I like Choisya ternata, too - but mine doesn't get enough sun where it is, so it hasn't flowered since I planted it 3 years ago. :-(((

Really nice evergreens, Clarice~ I don't have any of them, but really like the look of the spotted Laurel! Very different and would look wonderful up against my white fence! lol Happy New Year to you and yours, and thanks for showing us some greenery on such a cold wintry day~ Lisa

Happy New Year Carol. Evergreens really do earn their place in the garden at this time of year don't they. I love the way you're growing the Ivy (up a cane ?), that's given me an idea for my own garden - thanks. That's one of the good things about GOY isn't it. :-))
