Learn about the four wardrobe color seasons and how you can determine the best clothing colors for your skin tone to feel and look vibrant.
Winter Jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) blooms in mid- to late winter in the Mid-Atlantic region. You will see them flowering in front yards—cascading over retaining walls and down the sides of steps. My favorite use of them is in the large concrete containers that line the National Mall in Washington, DC. The plant itself is classified as a deciduous perennial, though most consider it a shrub and it can be treated as a vine as well. The weeping habit of Winter Jasmine is really quite lovely. Try a Winter Jasmine trained on an arbor or a trellis. It also makes a good ground cover, especially on a slope or hillside. If planted in the ground, it can sucker and spread, but it is easily pulled and potted up to share. It thrives in a variety of growing situations from full to part sun, from wet to dry soils. I have never had to water mine even in the hottest of summers. They are pollution-tolerant and are generally not troubled by pests. It is often mistaken for Forsythia, but there are several differences. The Winter Jasmine's stems are squarish, flexible, and deep green while the Forsythia's are round, brittle, and brown. Also, the Winter Jasmine blooms are a lighter yellow. Finally, Forsythia normally blooms later -- in mid-March here in our area. Winter Jasmine is one of those care-free, background plants that shines in the worst of the gray winter season. It deserves a spot in your garden. PIN THIS FOR LATER!

Paperbush (Edgworthia chrysantha) Plant Profile Paperbush (Edgeworthia chrysantha) has flowers that are fragrant and showy in the late winter landscape. The blooms resemble upside down parasols and are long-lasting – often hanging in for six to eight weeks in the garden. The paperbush’s flaky, reddish-brown bark was used to make paper and is quite attractive. It is a plant of the woodland edge, often found growing along the banks of streams in its native habitats in China and the Himalayas. It prefers to be planted in dappled shade and well-drained soil. This shrub is not troubled by pests or diseases, and is long-lived under favorable conditions. It is hardy to zones 7-10, though gardeners in zone 6 could attempt it if they can offer the paperbush a well-sheltered area of their property. Edgeworthia offers multi-season appeal. When fully leafed out, the shrub has a tropical appearance. In the fall, its leaves turn bright yellow before they are shed. Most cultivated forms of paperbush are yellow-flowering — a commonly available cultivar is ‘Gold Rush’ — there are also reddish-orange flowered varieties such for ‘Red Dragon’ and ‘Akebono’.

Goulash. Just saying it sounds funny, right? But what exactly is it, anyways? Well, it really depends on who, or where, you ask. As for my version, I may not be able to claim its history or origin, but I can definitely claim it as delicious. That’s good enough for me! Technically there is no definitive recipe for goulash. There are as many variations as there are cooks, each one different from the last.

Noted for its well-shaped flowers, Iris 'Harmony' is a superb Dwarf Iris with vibrant royal blue flowers, beautifully adorned with a white-rimmed gold crest on each fall. The foliage of slender, grass-like, gray-green leaves elongates to 15 in. (37 cm) after bloom but eventually disappears by late spring as the plants go dormant. Blooming in late winter to early spring, these pretty flowers (usually 1-2 per bulb) are rich with a sweet fragrance.
