I just planted my first Cranberry Bush! Can't wait for that gorgeous color.

Hi Sarah Kim
Thanks!!! I'm enjoying photography more and more all the time.

Hi Mario
I hope you love it! Spray with dormant spray next spring. Viburnum had some kind of caterpillar eating all its leaves for about the past 4 years now. This was the first fall the leaves did not look like lace.
I think about you working at the garden centre this past summer and being among all those new exciting plants!! I would have emptied out my savings I'm sure. :)
Thx for stopping by.

Astrid, what a fabulous contrast with the Viburnum and the Spruce. Never before heard of cranberries being associated with viburnum before.

Hi Alistair
I love the colour combo too! The common name of Viburnum opulus is European Cranberry Bush (which is the one I have, I think).
Today is going to be a "catch up on blogs" Day so I will have a chance to read your latest posts too :)

Hi Deb
Thanks!
Mother Nature sure provides some fabulous combinations, eh? Cannot believe it's the first of December. Now it's all about planning Christmas and not gardens for awhile….

Dear Astrid, I love this photo and this plant combination. Keep up the good work! What kind of camera do you use?

Hello Melissa
Thanks for dropping by! When I started to become very interested in photography, I bought a used Nikon D40 which I've been very pleased with. I now see almost everything in terms of "photo-ops" :)
