A few surprises after a mild winter.

The Corypantha vivipara (aka Escobaria) doubled in size last summer and is now blooming nicely.



The Fargesia robusta, which kept its color all winter, has many new shoots between 7 and 8 feet high.

Yucca gloriosa, which I've been told will not survive here, came through the winter without a scratch.



My "not hardy" Magnolia DD Blanchard is still the nicest of the three I have.

  1. Very nice photos! Regarding the 1st & 3rd holly photos. The first is not I. opaca, it appears to be I. aquifolium. The 3rd 'holly' with the small leaves looks more like an evergreen Berberis.
