The first of the winter colour is now showing in the garden, with Jasmine, Lamium, red crab apples (there are a lot of apples this year) and Winter viburnum, which flowers with us all winter and smells strongly of hyacinths especially if you bring it in the house.

Yes there are a lot of types that you can collect this one is Red Sentinel, and it is in every way from the flowers in the spring to the fruits which last all winter a first class choice, really good in the snow; a good gold one is Golden Hornet.
@Fernapple Is it edible? I once went to an art show and they had an small, flattish apple on the snack table. It was pretty good. I found the tree and it was covered in these small crab apples. It's called Centennial. [theappletreeguy.com]
@JackPedigo I don't know Centennial, but it depends what you mean by edible, all crabs are edible in the form of clab apple jelly etc. but most are not good to eat raw, and they can be used to add colour/sharpness to dishes made with cultivated apples.
Looks good.

Thank you, we are lucky with our climate here, some colour stays most winters through.
