I'm joining with Loree at Danger Garden in posting my favorite plant...this week. Click on over to her blog to see what's catching the eye of other garden bloggers today.
This morning, I went out to photograph my Pyracantha which was laden with berries earlier in the week. It grows in a bed between our fence and the sidewalk. While it still has some berries and I could have photographed it, I busied myself with propping it back up as it was hanging over the sidewalk. Some "urban forager" (thief) had decided to cut (thank goodness they used pruners and didn't just rip the branches) berries to use as decorations for the holiday so I decided to feature a different favorite.

Helleborus orientalis 'Anna's Red' is the first to show buds this year.
I love winter bloomers that remind us that spring is just around the corner!
