{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...

    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

    in diesem Jahr ist alles etwas anders.
    Aber die roten Beeren sind ein wunderbarer
    Kontrast zu den weißen Blüten.
    Einen guten Start in die neue Woche wünscht Dir

    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!!!!

    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

    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

    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
