And it's definitely a tough shrub; ours suffered for years through various stages of potbound, including the extreme version, but it bloomed just as enthusiastically as when we finally put it into the ground and gave it some space.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262994140960647255.post-11351310174291113872010-05-18T14:22:00.870-04:002010-05-18T14:22:00.870-04:00Xuxana, welcome to the blog!

I'm fond of that word myself!<br /><br />Flowerpot, the flowers last only a week or so - which makes the beauty that much more precious and wonderful.<br /><br />Chris, it is indeed. Literally now - the rains are finally with us.<br /><br />Phyllis, it's truly beautiful, and my mother's favorite colour. The house is lavender too and when this shrub bursts into bloom she's very happy.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262994140960647255.post-8018401526849464412010-05-05T07:26:11.038-04:002010-05-05T07:26:11.038-04:00Today, I noticed some purple petrea down in Centra...Today, I noticed some purple petrea down in Central and they seem to be a though plant as they are growing wild near, or is it in, a cane field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262994140960647255.post-10629387418603923872010-05-04T15:45:48.025-04:002010-05-04T15:45:48.025-04:00The purple is nice and the camera is not bad if th...The purple is nice and the camera is not bad if the color was meant to be purple :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262994140960647255.post-46220562243286510522010-05-04T06:53:58.798-04:002010-05-04T06:53:58.798-04:00Ooh... lovely pictures.
