WW - Hebe
Our Hebe does seem to take any notice of the seasons and was pretty much full bloom on Christmas Day. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday edition of Wordless Wednesday
This hebe is so pretty. I did a fifteen minute search here and I don't think they grow many in Texas. We do have some climate similar to New Zealand. I also like your flower and insect pictures. I have a June bug collection, about half are really bugs.
One bug no one knew what is was, but my readers aren't very expert in bug areas, http://jimmiehov3.blogspot.com/2006/10/its-june-bug-no-its-red-october-bug.html
The June Bug Collection: http://jimmiehov3.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_jimmiehov3_archive.html .. Some day you might take a peek. Happy WW/WT! Happy New Year! ..
That's beautiful. One of my rose bushes has flowered right through the winter, and still has a few flowers and lots of buds, and one Azalea has just started flowering. Crazy seasons!!
Whatever happened to the seasons?
ReplyDeleteA happy 2008 to you too Jams :-)
That's beautiful! God bless you in the new year!
ReplyDeletewow, how beautiful!! Have a great New Year, Jams.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this flower was blooming like that on Christmas!

I arrived back from LA and it is about 30 degrees warmer than NYC. It is strange seeing Palm Trees when the temps get around 40.

Good one, jams. I enjoyed this plant in Ireland. It gets too cold to have it here. There is nothing blooming in my garden now.
