Berberris Bears Her Berries Gracefully




The soft autumn rain diffuses the light giving a pale pink glow. Although the wind is beginning to nip the tips of the fingers & whipping the leaves from the trees in earnest; there are still signs of opulance throughout the garden. The berberis is a plant for all seasons, providing structure and colour throughout the year. However, in october it is her turn to take centre stage, the low-lying sun sets her jewel-like berries ablaze throughout the borders.
