Ok everyone has their own tastes. Not a problem. Just some things can look good in the cold winters here. You are looking at a 'Only Winter' pic . There are bulbs, annuals and perennials planted as well as roses, lilacs summer plants and spring flowering trees. Evergreen plants also flower like rhododendron's and azalea's also included in my garden for spring flowers. Many evergreen trees and shrubs are not all prickly , spikey or drippy. Many have great appeal in my garden during the cold months of winter.
My favorite evergreen tree is the Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar with its bluegreen soft short needles . It's a stunner , see a variety of pics in my profile under images posted or garden combinations showing several seasons of the gardens.
