{Two Seasons Side by Side}

It was a funny sight to see winter berries next to spring blossoms...
Winter Berries of our Nandina, Heavenly Bamboo alongside Spiraea cantoniensis 'Lanceata' or double Bridal Wreath Spirea
Nandina berries I always use for Christmas...
Spirea Cantoniensis 'Lanceata' or double Bridal Wreath Spirea is gorgeous!
Sunlight playing with those blossoms...

  8. Good Morning Mariette, The white Spirea is stunning..... I do so love white flowers in a garden and your garden is full of so many beautiful flowers. The contrast of red berries and white spring flowers was lovely to see.
    I have been meaning to say, that I love the lace curtains which you have hung in your windows.... they really look lovely.
    Have a wonderful day today.
    Best Wishes
    Daphne

  16. Dear Mariette,
    Your spirea is gorgeous with its lovely white flowers!!!!!!!! I don't know how to explain the winter berries still keeping on your nandina, but I had a similar surprise this year as all my chrysanthemums are now in bloom much much earlier than the usual mid-September/October !!!! I even used some when I made my 1st May wreath!
    Many hugs and a happy new week to you!!!!

  18. Dear Mariette,

    Beautiful flowers side by side - the seasons are all a bit topsy turvey - I have hyacinths coming up and they would normally come up in Spring which is September here.
    Happy week
    hugs
    Carolyn

  22. My dear friend Mariette,
    This is a very interesting post, very strange to see winter berries and spring blossoms side by side. The seasons seem to be a little bit mixed up this year. But nevertheless your pictures are so beautiful and gorgeous.
    Hugs and have a blessed day

  23. So schön wie Rosen, die weissen Blüten, liebe Mariette, fast hätte ich auf den ersten Blick geglaubt, Du hättest die Guierlande d'amour ;-) :-) Ich hab' sie im Garten und bin gespannt wann und wie sie dieses Jahr blühen wird. Viele Knospen hat sie schließlich ...

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara
