Choisya blossom & Cotinus

love the contrasting colours of the different plants

My cotinus are both very late this year, having tried to start opening in March and then had all their baby leaves killed off with frost, they are now tentatively trying again! Brave things. It's gone very cold here again :(

fabulous

Our Choisya have finished flowering, so have just pruned them hard back, the hot weather was too much for them..... beautiful contrast in your pic...

Every garden should have Cotinus..Mine has more smoke plumes this year, than ever before.

Looks like another one for my list, then... :)

Type manchester rain in the GoY search box Karen...it's why you should have one.

Oh yes! I see what you mean, Pim... :)
