Bloom Day: December 15, 2014

Not much is blooming in the garden due to some frost earlier this month, and because much of the garden has been torn up for some major infrastructure changes. Still there's a few things, like Mahonia x media 'Charity', which reliably brightens up winter.

Also blooming is silverberry, Elaeagnus pungens 'Fruitlandii', which has a nice, sweet fragrance. I like the tiny brown-speckled pendant flowers.

There are also a few fuchsia blooms on some plants overwintering in the shed, but they were a little too buried to photograph.
