Re: Winter Garden/ ornamentals

The most ornamental thing in my garden at the moment is a big old K-Mart
euonymus (Burning Bush), supposed to be a dwarf, that ended up about 10
ft tall and at least 8 feet wide. It is COVERED with the most delicate,
tiny red berries and looks both cheerful and ethereal. Gene, thanks for
mentioning berries--I don't think I ever really NOTICED this shrub in
winter before. We also have a few tall dried shocks of various ornamental
grasses, and I've noticed many such in other yards. These are extremely
decorative, I think, with their plumy tops, especially when you have a
number of different kinds planted together. May not be such fun to cut
them down in spring, but we'll cross that bridge later.
