Time for Weekend Reflections and The WeekendRoundup and the letter is Y
and Yesterday.I
was wondering what one earth I was going to photograph for Yesterday and I came
across this plant called YESTERDAY –today –tomorrow. So as I had never heard of this plant I
thought I would share it with you.
Its Botanic name: Brunfelsia australis.
An evergreen shrub which grows slowly to around 2-4m (6 -12′)
tall and 2m (6′) wide. The foliage is dense and medium green in colour. The
young leaves are often purplish in cool weather. The flowers are very sweetly
perfumed and appear from September to late November. When they first open they
are a violet colour, fading to lavender blue and then white, with the three
colours present on the bush at the same time.
This shot was taken at
Mount Stewart Lake, N.Ireland and I am using it for my RFELCTION photograph.
I appreciate your
visit and comments.
I hope you enjoyed this post today.
