I am totally in love with the Viburnum ‘Winterthur’ I added to my garden this fall. I purchased two of these ornamental shrubs this past September at a Native Plant sale. The wonderful leathery leaves are turning shades of burgundy, copper and gold right now. But only on one of the plants. The other one is still quite green. Isn’t that a bit strange?

I was surprised to find that the birds didn’t devour the little blue berries that this plant produces in late summer. The remaining berries have a freeze dried effect.

Saturday afternoon I found this small cluster on the second bush (which doesn’t have any fall color). I dont’ know if this is the flower head forming or what. This plant is new to me, so if anyone has any information it would be much appreciated.
