The year closes

 Hard to believe it's December already, though I'm sure to many - myself included - this last two months (leading up to the election and afterwards) seemed to take FOREVER. That aside, here are more photos from my winter garden.

It's a bit in the shade but here's my Aloe Delta Lights. Beyond its whiteness, it has stiff corrugated 'leaves' that I like.

Ozothamnus has always seemed like a made up word, like something out of a Dr. Suess book. Say it really fast 10 times and try not to laugh. That said, I love this pint-sized O. coralloides.

Correa species Orange (how this plant was tagged). It's been a prolific bloomer this year.

Tweedia caerulea. One last flower show from this milkweed. Bluer than blue.

After giving this Echinacea Sombrero Yellow a haircut one month ago, I wasn't sure what to expect. But it's bounced back, with this flower and more on the way.

Mixed dwarf conifer bowl. This is one of 4 such bowls, with most of the inhabitants being False Cypress, Juniper and Japanese cedar species.

Abutilon 'Tiger Eye.' This variety of flowering maple is highlighted by its pronounced veining.

Speaking of dwarf conifers, here are two lovely blue varieties.

If we humans could only concentrate as intently as our feline companions when a bird has their attention. Fortunately, no capture this time (or almost ever).

Helichrysum 'Silver Ball.' This guy is still small but it will acquire more of a presence once it fills out.

I was very excited to see my Orostachys fimbriata bloom in its first year. That's it with the tiny towers filled with white flowers.

This variegated Billbergia is lovely even when not in bloom. It's very similar to my B. Santa Barbara Sunset and may even be closely related.

Speaking of bromeliads, here's one part of my collection.

It doesn't get much more orange than the flowers on my Begonia Nonstop Orange!

My lovely Begonia acetosa has vivid red undersides on its leaves.

This Japanese Lace fern may have been the favorite fern I added this year.

Microlepia strigosa fern. One of my faves.

Though this photo doesn't do justice to the color of my Luculia pinceana, this photo shows it in bud form and with open flowers. Intensely fragrant!
