It's a beautiful tree - is it the one the Cheshire Cat was fond of? Coincidentally it's in the same family as the not-willow herb that Dave posted last night!
Pic no 1 is worthy of a postcard or print - amazing. |
Pic 1 was taken in a snow storm looking out of my dining room window!
Saw the "La" but thought it was a mistake and they hadn't detached the Italian article La -had to look up the spelling! Everyone here calls them Gerstroemia! There are a whole row of them outside the house here -I did have 3 but the resident Tractor driving idiot on the farm killed two of mine the other year when he put neat weedkiller down to kill the weeds in the courtyard in front -half killed the one Rufus loved which is where the Mantis has taken up residence! Note new tables and chairs outside and blue skies -hot again!
Will take a pic of it to show how it's been ruined -makes me cry to see it -criminal!
