Looking at this shrub in my garden the other day, which is one I use quite a bit for cutting when doing flower arranging, I was alarmed to see it had a lot of black on it. Had the wind caught it, or was it damage from the snow and frost we`d had at Easter, I wondered, or had it got some kind of disease?
Going closer for a better inspection of it. I found that it wasn`t the leaves that were black, as I had at first thought, it was infact tiny flowers! I hadn`t realised that this shrub had flowers. It was a delightful find. Another wonder of nature to me. Isn`t that beautiful.

Oh yeah! I am so glad it was flowers and not damage! Yes, the are beautiful!!!
I forgot to tell you that I like your new banner!!
Funnily enough, I noticed for the first time the other day that my pittisporum (sp?) had little red flowers, too - it's been there for years! We could smell the scent and looked for the source.
Must be a good year for them, I`ve not noticed if mine has scent... I`ll go and have a sniff!
Reporting back!.... yes they have... that`s something I`ve learnt today. They say you learn something new every day,don`t they? Wonder who the "they" is?!
Oh! What a fantastic surprise. I love this time of year, but then... you probably already knew that. ;)
