Exochorda x macrantha 'The Bride'

This is a beauty!

I absolutely love this shrub and look forward to its flowers every year :)

Thanks, Bernie - and Grindle, I do agree! I wish I'd been able to plant it on bank or over a wall, though, to 'show off' the flowers better!

Aharr! - "pearl bush"! :-)

YAY!! it's in flower!!! :-)))))

This has gone straight into my Favs, Spritz~beautiful! :~))

you cud grow veg in the flower beds thats how a proper cottage garden works. in the olden days lol .

Yes, Cristina, you're right - this garden wouldn't have had any flowers when the house was built - it might have had a pig, some hens and veggies, as well as herbs.

I like it better as it is, though! :-)))

Thanks, Flori. x

I couldn't agree more Spritz. Your garden is stunning in the extreme.

Thanks, Toto - you're very kind - I'll definitely 'pass' on the pig now you've said that!!
