Two years ago I posted that one of my favorite shrubs had been savagely pruned down to just the base. You can see that post here.
When I was at the garden last Sunday, I was pleased to see that it had grown back and was nice and full and surprisingly, showing a few blooms. This is a guayacan bush and it usually blooms during the month of May. I was surprised to see a few blooms on it in August especially after the extreme heat we endured during July.
Beautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteSometimes a major pruning is needed. I am past due for a haircut.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely purple. Good the bush grew back, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are very pretty. The bush looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the man knew what he was doing. : )
ReplyDeleteI too amazed at the resilience of nature! Thank you for sharing this uplifting post with us friend. Aloha
ReplyDeleteAlways how nature can sometimes recover. Nice to see the blooms even in August.
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around comes around.
ReplyDeleteGlad it bounced back! I guess they know how to prune at the botanical garden. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like pruning at all, but it does help the plants.
