Snow berries!

Well I was racking my brain on what to post on this month's Picture This and was about to post pics of leafless frangipani in Laos in December when my friend Aoth took these pictures for me in England. I thought they were too lovely not to share. So the first one is my entry ( if this qualifies). Since we both lived our entire lives in the tropics we have no idea what these plants are.

I love these photos. I enjoy seeing plants that grow in different climates because they look so different from those that grow where I live :-)

Burr, pretty but chilly pictures

I don't know what they are either, but they are pretty. The snow really sets off the orange color. It's neat how each cluster lookslikes its wearing a little hat:)

I enjoyed this series of pictures quite a lot. It is one of the benefits of the WWW, getting to see things from all over the world.

These pics are beautiful. I am living in Aruba for the next 4 months but my home base is Chicago, so seeing these pics brings joy, knowing I missed all the snow.

They are wonderful, and I hope they qualify! The first ones look like pyracantha berries, but if the second shot is the same plant, that is not the leaf. Fun! :-)

Nicole I think it is a cotoneaster.It looks beautiful under the snow blanky. We grew them in Switzerland and the birds got the berries in winter.

Hi, there,
The first picture is pyracantha, and the second picture is cotoneaster... the fruits look similar, as they're both members of the rose family. And picture number three is euonymus.

But we'd also like to see what winter beauty looks like in the Caribbean! It doesn't always have to be about snow.

Cheers, from usually frosty, but currently drippy, Toronto.
