This luscious planting resides at the North Carolina Arboretum. The photo was put up on the Internet Bonsai Club forum by Arthur Joura (Arthur's caption is below).
Now that we’re up to our elbows in snow, I thought it would be nice to flash back on a luscious planting in full spring vitality in contrast with what it looked like last winter.

The caption reads "This planting is one of a small handful in our bonsai collection that consists entirely of plant material that can tolerate the extremes of winter (see photo below), and so it remains on the bench, on display in the Bonsai Exhibition Garden all through the year." The statement 'can tolerate the extremes of winter' makes sense if you live in North Carolina, but not if you live in Vermont.
Speaking of Vermont, this photo was taken out my office door. It's from last year, but the view looks about the same right now (without the bonsai, which is now safely tucked away in my just above freezing garage).
