Beautyberry


.
Amid the stark winter landscape at the New York Botanical Garden dotted with brilliant evergreens both tall and small, a stand of beautyberry pops into sight.

I believe the shrubs are Callicarpa dichotoma. I was so captivated by the great color and form that didn’t check the tag. (More info from Dave's Garden here and Iowa State University Extension here.)

I wonder if I can find a place for these beauties in my garden. Plant lust never ends.

I will be away until after the New Year. I won’t be able to post. I will be answering comments and reading my favorite blogs.

I wish you all a very merry holiday and a successful New Year filled with excitement and laughter!
