This is a photo of a dwarf Mugo pine branch that’s been dusted in snow. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago after a big snow storm came through town.
When we bought our house it came with three dwarf pines in large barrel planters at the front of the house. The planters are actually in the walkway between our house and our neighbors. Usually I decorate the pines each winter with clear LED lights and tiny red bows on some of the branches and they look quite lovely. I didn’t decorate them this year for the holidays, but that snowfall added a beautiful touch.
Do you have any plants around your home that look inviting after a snowfall?

A very wintry picture!
Tricia,
I just love to see snow on the branches of evergreens. This is a beautiful photo. I posted some the other day of icy trees that we saw the day we left for vacation. They were pretty also. Today I cheated a little and posted a beautiful flowering shrub that I saw while on vacation. I should know what it is, but don’t remember.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo.
Blessings,
Mary
I’ve loved Pinus mugo mugus since I was first introduced to it while studying bonsai. It’s partly because the name sounds like someone is stuttering. But it’s a fabulous plant regardless. Thanks for jogging my memory banks.
I love this photo. It’s gorgeous!!
SO pretty! I sure miss the snow.
That is such a beautiful photo. It really captivates the beauty of winter in a simplistic form.
