Hibiscus In temperate zones, probably the most commonly grown ornamental species is Hibiscus syriacus, the common garden hibiscus, also known in some areas as the "Rose of Althea" or "Rose of Sharon" (but not to be confused with the unrelated Hypericum calycinum, also called "Rose of Sharon"). In tropical and subtropical areas, the Chinese hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis), with its many showy hybrids, is the most popular hibiscus.
Japanese ornamental cherry. - Amanogawa
Very pale pink.
We have quite a few cherry trees which have all come out at once and are abundant this year. They are covered in bees, everywhere you walk there is a constant buzz. I've spent 3 days trying to capture one of these fellows with no success save this one.......so I thought I had better put it up. The problem is, by the time I locate one with my ears, and lift the camera, it still takes me a while to find it and by then -- well they don't sit still lon at the moment :^)
These Amanogawa trees are tall and slim but flower from low down so I was able to get this one....
He was actually asking for one, House finches come to the feeders with their mates, out of all the birds I admire them most for that.
The same species as the kale used as a food,
ornamental kale is edible to humans, though it may not taste as good as kale more traditionally used for food.
These charming orchid varieties are the perfect size for a table, shelf, or counter. Very easy to care for and flowering can last for weeks. When the blooming period ends the foliage still makes an attractive houseplant.
They are simple to maintain even by those with very little experience caring for houseplants.
Taken before the February Winter Freeze Storm; sadly 90% of the flowers didn't make it, including this one.
The first time I saw Ornamental Cabbage (in bluish purple color) was in New Jersey during the winter months, they often got buried in the snow for days and still thrived.
I guess some were hardy to the cold and some are not?

Stay safe and be healthy!
Last winter I headed into the New Forest and went to a spot I've been meaning to go to for a while, Ornamental Drive in Bolderwood near Blackwater Arboretum.
The road winds its way through a wonderful example of New Forest woodland, with Oaks, Beach and Ash clawing at the road. Being winter the ferns were bright reddish browns and the moss vibrant greens. I walked the road taking a number of pictures as there were just so many compositions, enhanced by the leading line of the road. Cyclists and New Forest visitors journey up the road to visit the deer park at the top, but the road is narrow enough to stop any fast driving or through traffic.
The sun was low on the horizon and there was a lot of cloud cover stopping any bright light contrasting against dark shadows. The perfect conditions for winter woodland photography. I hope you enjoy them as I'll be loading up a few over the next few weeks.

"DECORATIVE ORNAMENTAL TREES FOR STREETS"
El árbol ornamental es el que se planta, cuida y se utiliza
con intenciones decorativas en calles y jardines - sobre
todo - en todo el Levante mediterráneo.
Las naranjas urbanas plantadas por los ayuntamiento son
amargas y no aptas para el consumo humano, porque su
piel absorbe todos los gases y productos tóxicos derivados
de la polución urbana como el plomo y los metales pesados
de las emisiones de los vehículos.
common names: ornamental cabbage, flowering kale,
binomial name: Brassica oleracea var. acephala f. tricolor
The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning 'juice', or 'sap'. Succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Succulents are often grown as ornamental plants because of their striking and unusual appearance, as well as their ability to thrive with relatively minimal care. The habitats of these water preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall, such as deserts. Succulents have the ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem which contains scarce water sources. 14482
The small ornamental garden was laid out on a terrace overlooking the River Calder at the rear of the house by Charles Barry. The semicircular terrace wall is Grade II listed. The course of the river was diverted away from Gawthorpe Hall in the 19th century because of pollution and again diverted to accommodate an open cast coal scheme north of the river in Padiham in the 1960s.
Ornamental cabbage and kale are very close relatives of edible cabbages and kale. They are in the same species, Brassica oleracea, and although they are still edible, they aren't as tasty and tender as their cousins. They have been bred for looks, not flavor. ... The plant in the photo is an ornamental cabbage.
