Pieris Japonica

Isnt that lovely!

I agree :)))

Lovely Amy. :)

Me too.

Nice one, Amy :o)

My favourite shrub,Amy..very early isn't it ? mine has had lots of buds all winter,but nowhere near ready to flower yet..a bit of prolonged sunshine and warmth will do the trick..:o)

Thank you all ... I've had buds for ages Sandra the sun has brought them out this week , your won't be long !

Much more advanced than mine too. I'd forgotten just how pretty they are :)

great shot Amy :o))

They are pretty Gill I have some pretty pink ones that I'm keen to see blooming they are still in bud .. Thanks San :o)

Lovely closeup they look a little like Lily of the Valley dont they!

Thanks Carole , yes they do look like L of the Valley , any news yet ??

Ooh thats beautiful Amy...like Lily of the Valley flowers aren't they.........Ha....just seen Caroles comment ....durr!

Amy, what is the name of this Pieris and how high is it?

Beautiful. Another to add to my very long list. GOY is brill, but going to cost me a fortune :o))))

Lol, N3tyy, exactly. When I am bringing home another beautiful bush to plant, my mother always wraps her hands - "...don´t you have enough? For all those money you could have three beautiful costumes!!
Any costume is as beautiful as blooming bush, isn´ it?

Thanks Janey , it is Pieris japonica Kat it grows up to 10 ft high .. be careful N3 / Kat it needs acid soil to thrive ... you are right Kat nothing compares or gives as much pleasure or last as long as a beautiful shrub ...

I never saw that big pieris here, Amy. Might it be influence of a dry climate inside the Continent?

We are very dry here Kat in fact we are going to be in serious trouble if we don't have more rain soon , the farmers are being restricted as to how much water they can use , we have bought some huge 1000 litre water containers to catch as much rain water as possible to use on the garden ......
