Icecapade



New Dawn has taken a beating this year.

 Gaura, one way.

And the other.

 Perovskia atriplicifolia, err, Russian sage.

Hmm. The honeysuckle holds its ice well. But there's no life left in those branches, having been cut off near the ground by the fallen-over trellis.

 Rose leaf, knocked out by ice.

 Hips.

 Icesters.

 In the carbonite chamber (that's for you, Star Wars fans -you know who you are).

Some fine lookin hips.

  1. It's definitely icy out there! There is a ice rink in my driveway! I just came in from shoveling some of the ice away. Hope it warms up a bit more this week.

If I do not respond to your comment right away, it is only because I am busy pulling out buckthorn, creeping charlie, and garlic mustard...
