It is interesting what blooms in winter in different parts of the
globe. Putting on a spectacular display right now is Mahonia
'Charity', a mature specimen with a dozen or more one-foot golden
inflorescenses. Also still colourful are the hardy fuschias,
especially the ones too tall for the deer to eat! My original
Grevillea victoriae died (I think of old age) and its replacement is
too young to bloom this winter.
