My Garden - Colour in winter

 
 
The Barberry Bush berries  gives a cheerful red accent
to my winter garden...
 
 
 
...and the Beautyberry  bush is still
in full colour.  What is not to like about these?  :  )

    These are gorgeous winter garden colours Nell. I didn't know that beauty berry could be grown in Canada but I guess your climate is milder on the west coast.

    Beautiful! The only color we have right now is white. Beautiful, but I'm ready for Spring.

    Hi Nell, The barberry is full of beautiful berries! I like the callicarpa too. I imagine the birds will be getting to these berries and enjoying them over the winter.

    Pretty. My barberries don't look that good.

    That is Beauty Bush and not Beauty Berry, am I correct? We have Beauty Berry; I think our berries are coarser.

    Yours Kolkwitzia, ours Callicarpa. Is that right?

      Actually, NellJean, the common names are often confused, but this bush is actually the Beautyberry, Callicarpa. Thanks : )

    I love the colour of the beauty berries. So nice to have some colour in winter, these berries would be worth looking forward to this time of year.
