Jewels of the Winter Garden

Today, the weather  has been the complete opposite of yesterday's: cold, frosty, with  bright blue sky and sunshine.
We went to our favourite  Hillier's Gardens just a few miles away, where the Winter Garden was  looking spectacular.Here are just a couple of views. As well as the  brightly coloured stems of Cornus (dogwood) and Salix, the first Hamamelis (Witch Hazels), Chimonanthus praecox (Wintersweet) and Daphne flowers were already open with their delicious  scents wafting on the light breeze.
