The Gotelli Collection is beautiful in the snow

Personally, i prefer this light coating to the 3 feet we received last February. This second picture is Calocerus decurrens 'Berrima' and the bare branches below it belong to Pinus strobus nana, one of my favorite conifers.

Here are the overwintering Salvias that I've been photographing for weeks

It's a wonderful thing to come in from the snowy cold and find. They'll be bedded out in the Herb Garden next spring. The purple spiky one on the far right is Salvia leucantha and it's one of my favorites. It's also a plant that isn't fazed by drought. I have a few large patches in Florida garden and we'll be visiting them Sunday next.
