Find your way to the entrance of the Ladies’ Border, pass under the overhanging greenery, and you’ll see the popping color of summer’s crape-myrtles blooming among the leaves. The punchy pink of Lagerstroemia ‘Choctaw’ and the vivid red of Lagerstroemia indica ‘Dynamite’ are absolute standouts.

Larry Lederman‘s lens takes you to the Garden when you can’t be there and previews what to see when you can.
This week, Lederman’s Lens takes us through the Home Gardening Center and straight on to the Ladies’ Border, stopping at the Herb Garden on the way, where contrasting elements of picturesque, playful flowers and structured foliage create a theme of order and flair. Soft-profiled dahlias and clematis complement the more rigid elements of cardoon and yucca, offering the best of both aesthetics.

The season is far from colorless—just look to the yellow, star-like blooms of the winter jasmine to carry you through the snowflake months.

Hints of what was once an unseasonably warm winter still remain here and there, as we head into what may be quite the snowy weekend.

Pinks and purples join the traditional snow-white of December in this oddly warm stretch of late fall.
