I thought it would be interesting, and maybe useful for others, to document the new growth of the photinias. This hedge is the variety called Superhedge.

Great photos. I've seen Photonia hedges when I've visited Canberra to see the grandchildren. It must be perfect conditions for them there. They are a wonderful plant - always changing but looking good no matter when.
ReplyDeleteWow that is impressively diligent photographing! I always plan to do that and then go all random and never follow through. So I am in awe. And it is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteAfter all that I missed getting a good photo of the flowers. Oh well :-)
