Late Winter Colour

You know winter hasn't departed when in March the Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus stolonifera) stems are still brilliant red.  They are about the only plant showing any kind of attractive colour at this stage and thank goodness we have them because otherwise the landscape is looking pretty dreary.

Today the dull weather continued, even though a couple of times it looked like some clearer skies would move in, it didn't happen by days end.  With a high temperature of 6 C today and back down to 1 or 2 this evening, it was just another cool March day. Grizzly
