Camellia Japonica 'Spring's Promise'

'Spring's Promise' is mis-named. It starts blooming in November and keeps blooming until late winter.

Ilex verticillata, winterberry holly, coral berry holly

I believe this is an Ilex verticillata with orange pumpkin colored berries rather than the traditional red.

Nandina flowers

Penstemons and pinks

Short dianthus and medium height penstemons - a good combination.

Edelweiss

Leontopodium alpinum
Lion's foot or paw
Queen's flower

Dicentra spectabilis - Bleeding heart

Ramp flower

Ramps, Allium tricoccum are wild leeks with flat wide leaves. Leaves and bulbs are edible.
