Richard, thanks for the very nice pics!

I see a very familair blue tag on the Picea mariana 'Aureovariegata'... ;0)
I can see that it feels happy in your garden!

Is that Serbian spruce just the species?
It does have a beautiful shape indeed.

Edwin,
Yes, it is doing very nicely!
The Serbian spruce was bought several years ago from Horstmann nursery as Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns'. A while ago you indicated that it might be Picea omorika 'Bruns'. In fact, this morning I have actually emailed them to ask them to clarify its identity if possible. We will see.

Everything looks great ! Even your shirasawanum looks happy!
Well done...Thanks
Al

Richard, I already had in mind that the species Serbian spruce is a 'Bruns'.
It's upright needles will give it a silvery appaerence.
I'm curious what the Horstmann's answer will be...

Nice color on the Abies procera 'Obrighofen'

Hello Richard,
Beautiful conifers!
I wanted to ask what is the dark blue conifer in the far left corner on the "island bed" picture? Thank you....

Hi,

Thanks for your comments. I believe it is most likely Picea pungens 'Koster' although when I bought it locally it had no label unfortunately.

Richard

That spreading koreana is gorgeous.

Thank you!
