Oops. Anyway it was a great excuse to use the word! I agree about the evergreen displays. What really makes them pop is the red nandina foliage which is only that color in the winter. Often when I visit them in the winter, I want to replace most of my garden with evergreens. <br /><br />Hooray about the Tacoma Show! Do you know about when you'll be there?

Along that same line of thinking, I could spray paint some green Nandina. I've never seen anything like the yellow and red they show. Somebody used to claim that colorful Nandina was caused by a virus.<br /><br />Winter here is mostly green. All those colorful evergreens are stunning. <br /><br />I've always wanted to build a lightwood horse.
