I look forward every year to seeing the Guayacan shrub bloom and it seems the bees look forward to it too. I love the tiny purple flowers that bloom on the plant at this time of year.
It's one of the plants that I spent some time admiring and photographing on my two walks at the Desert Botanical Garden last weekend.
The entire shrub is not as photogenic as the tiny flowers are but this at least gives an idea of how big and full it gets. I guess some places actually trim it so it looks like a small tree. It's those pretty purple flowers that appeal to me.
Nice all a bit different.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I call eye candy.
ReplyDeleteAmazing color,
ReplyDeleteОчень красивый кустарник! Спасибо, что рассказала о нём!
ReplyDeleteАм у нас в Сибири растут другие красивые кустарники https://serdzerasum.blogspot.com/2021/05/blog-post_20.html
Such a nice display.
ReplyDeleteI do like purple now but not at all when growing up. It was for me a color for older people but now I marvel about purple flowers like the flowers you show us and the hedgehog cactus as I remember. In fact I am now working on the color purple made with a mix of opera rose and ultramarine deep for painting lavender fields.
So so beautiful Sharon, the colour purple really makes an impression in a garden, I have both fingers and toes crossed that my wisteria blooms this year 💜
ReplyDeletePretty! The flowers are so colorful close-up, but then they blend into the greenery from a distance.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a gorgeous colour and you pics are great, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThey are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice and colourful, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shade on these.
ReplyDeleteLovely, here the purple flowers attract blue banded bees. Do you have any blue bees?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful

Anything that attracts the bees is worth planting I think.
