SPIKY!

This is another of the early flowering plants in my garden. I don't know what it's called but the leaves are very, very spiky. It's a little invasive and not easy to get rid of, but I don't mind that as it's in the dogs' part of the garden so it doesn't matter much. In the autumn it has the most amazing purple coloured berries with a pretty white bloom on them.

    We are far from seeing any color here, but this is a wonderful reminder that hopefully it will be soon!
