    Here is some more spring colour, all of it above the ankles. The Viburnum x bodnantense 'Charles Lamont' on the entrance plaza is looking particularly good right now.

    Cornus mas are looking cheery.

    Equally cheery is the Berberis japonica 'Hivernant', which we used to be able to call Mahonia.

    White is a colour, right? Here is Lonicera x purpusii.

    And this Camellia shows up in this forum now and then. We haven't found the label, as it's hard to get to over to the tree, but we think it has to be Camellia 'Michael'.
