JR ... teasing with his tassels

Nice pic TT... i had one of these in my house in Surrey.

Thats unusual! :)

I got one of these Terra - can't wait for its catkins!!! - lovely pic - wish we had the sun like you too

My Mum & Dad's got one, it's HUGE!! It got a bit of a prune last year and still looks good.

Thanks Holly .. pleased you like it.

Hi Meadowland and Pixi ...
JR does need pruning now and then.

Hello Paul... hope your JR gets catkins soon ...:o)

Yes, Lulu... JR would be huge eventually if not trimmed....
I try to keep him under control...LOL.

Hi TT I do love these ....They look so wonderful during the winter with their lovely tassels.....

Hi Milky..
thanks... Amazing how long the tassels grow ...
This is not so far from my back door, so I see it every day ...

Lovely picture Terra, envy the beautiful blue sky you have, we have rain, rain and more rain;0(

And just look at the colour of the sky, great pic TT.

Thank you PP and Dotty...
The blue skies have gone now... but JR is still waving his tassles ;o)

Lovely photo Terra. :o)

Thanks Labdancer ...
The tassels on this shrub are fascinating..:o)

Lovely plant and gorgeous sky :)

Thank you Scottish..
Some plants seem to have their own personality... and in my garden, this is one such shrub....

... JR watches over my dog run... While I am gardening, he keeps an eye on what Conker and Truffle are doing ...Lol.

It's great that we can already see planting preparing for another year ! and so it goes on :o))

Thanks Amy... good observation...
... at the moment, my gardens really don't know what season it is ... Lol...

Lovely shot Terra - seeing that gorgeous blue sky makes me smile. :)))

Thanks Sheila ..
Lovely blue skies out there again today, so I'm having a great time gardening :o)))

Hurray! That's good to hear Terra . . .

Lovely picture Terra,every year I mean to get one of these but never have. What do they look like the rest of the year?

Hi Rose ... Thank you ...

JR is evergreen... grows his tassels over the winter .. :o)
There are some other photos of this shrub in my earlier photos... you can see two pics. showing the much longer tassels... I hope this helps ...

Great picture Terra, must go and have a look at mine and see if its tassels are showing.

Hi Stroller..
Thanks...
I hope your JR has lots of tassels too :o)

I love your JR Tt, every year I promise myself one of these, then forget!! I haven't seen any though at our local garden centres, I'll have to find out where they can be bought.

Hello Janey...
A friend bought me JR few years ago ...
... I guess from a garden centre..
I hope you find your own JR :o)
