On a recent visit to the Arboretum, Lisa Bencivengo and Heather Emelander captured several lovely examples of winter interest in the garden. The red twigs of a Cornus sericea (Red Stemmed Dogwood – Lisa) and the reddish, early blooming, strappy flowers of Hamamelis vernalis (Red Imp Witch Hazel – Heather) are delightful on a late winter day, as is the exfoliating bark on the Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple – Lisa) at the entrance to the Haggerty Education Center. Subtle, but beautiful nevertheless.
Thanks, Lisa & Heather!
