From the pics, (some of which featured a neighborhood painted in "watercolor" hues) looks like Floridians are very aware of the fact that the container or background is as much a part of winter color as the plants themselves! Here in New York, my favorites for winter color are holly, purple barberry, ornamental kale, yucca (yes, yucca! beautiful when it grows through the snow!), red- or yellow-twig dogwood and yellow-variegated conifers.Lisa Hutchursonhttp://www.youreasygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-88768127176424931852012-01-29T08:13:18.859-05:002012-01-29T08:13:18.859-05:00Really love the Kale -- but haven't seen much ...Really love the Kale -- but haven't seen much of it here in the Tampa Bay Area - perhaps it sells out quickly?friendofprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723913421192142021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-88389794099143171812012-01-29T08:12:14.729-05:002012-01-29T08:12:14.729-05:00I really love the kale.
