    Here is scene from the path behind the Winter Garden.

    Left to right, those shrubs are Hamamelis x intermedia 'Orange Beauty', Hamamelis x intermedia 'Carmine Red', Cornus mas and Stachyurus praecox.

    The Viburnum x bodnantense 'Charles Lamont' on the entrance plaza has a lot of colour now.

    Okay leaves. One of my favourite trees in the garden is this young Eucalyptus rubida. It's actually the red stems I like.

    Nearby is Eucalyptus pauciflora, with nice white bark.

    Hebe 'Silver Dollar'. Did the renaming of Hebe to Veronica not take?

    Have I only done trees and shrubs so far? Here is something different, but in the same colour scheme - Eryngium eburneum.

    I forgot a couple of flowers.

    I think this has to be Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka', near the group of four shrubs that started this thread.

    And American skunk cabbage - Lysichiton americanus.

    I'm a little lost here, but I think these are looking like male flowers on the Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Morioka Weeping', in the Winter Garden.
