TODAY AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM

Chilly, overcast and damp after yesterday's snowfall. Lovely little vignettes were created around the grounds, from the snow covered foliage and male cones of a Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese Cedar), to bright red berries and snow on Ilex centrochinensis x. Aquifolium 'Centennial Girl' (Hybrid Holly), to the lemony yellow flowers of Jasminum nudiflorum (Winter Jasmine), holding their own even under a blanket of snow! Mother Nature at her loveliest!
