The Spiraea bush is full of icicles from above. The freezing water is starting to weigh down the bush.
Frosty Boo
Bamboo and everything else was frosted over from the fog. I have only a little bit of bamboo here and there, most has died from the harsh winters.
December Flowers
A Viburnum is trying to take advantage of the warm December we are having. Flowering at this time of the year is definitely a rare event.
Iced Landscape
Some freezing rain has iced over everything on my Oasis.
Cutleaf Columnar Buckthorn
Cutleaf Columnar Buckthorn keeps its leaves late into fall. The recent snow has given it a new look.

The Corky Burning Bush cultivar has great fall color like the species. The branches are also very ornamental with their corkiness.
Stephanandra Tanakae
Stephanandra Tanakae is changing color right now. This is a little shrub that can root where the stems touch the ground.
