Winter Beauty in New Hampshire

Right now we’re going to go to Robin Hess’ backyard.

I began looking for some winter curiosity in my New Hampshire backyard. There are not any vibrant colours right here in January, however we have been snowing for a number of days and I believed some close-ups may encourage gardeners to search for winter magnificence of their gardens.

An azalea (Rhododendron hybrid, Zones 5–10) is roofed in snow and the leaves have turned crimson in response to the chilly.

A hemlock (Tsuga canadensisZones 3–7) is superbly adorned with icing.

A frog statue is all wrapped up in snow.

The big bud on the finish of a hydrangea stem (hydrangea macrophylla, Zones 5–9) accommodates the flowers for early subsequent summer season. To keep away from chopping the flowers, hydrangeas shouldn’t be pruned at the moment of 12 months.

A Thuja (Zones 2–7) snow lined department

Taking the time to look intently reveals the wonder even in a merely light leaf.
