So beautiful, as always! Michaela, I like the color of the naked vine in the first picture. What is it?
Happy Winter! Lynda
Happy holidays, Lynda! The vine is Japanese Moonlight Hydrangea Vine (Schizophragma hydrangeoides ‘Moonlight’). It has stunning, variegated foliage. Blooms are similar to the Hydrangea petiolaris. There’s also a very light pink flowering cultivar. This is one of my favorite, self-clinging vines. xo M
I have recently discovered your blog and must tell you your photos help satisfy my longing for the silence and solitude nature provides. These photos have a spiritual aspect that helps nourish my soul. Thank you so much.
Thank you Elona! Happy Holidays :) xo M
Hi Michaela, finally getting a chance to catch up; I hope your Solstice & Christmas were just grand! Guessing you got the same heavy, wet storm that went through Ottawa (judging by how your shrubby junipers look like something out of Captain Nemo’s garden; ) xo Deb
We have about 2′ of snow on the ground in my area. Of course it’s hard to say exactly… Given the drifts! ;) M
