April 10th In The Garden

Pieris

White flowered Mountain Fire Pieris

This is a Mountain Fire Pieris in bloom. I have a number of these, some with white flowers, as this one has, and others with pink flowers, as the following image displays!

Another Mountain Fire Pieris

This one is located just behind the one above, which is why the background looks the same.

Camelia

Camelia Sasaquana

The Camelia Sasaquana Yuletide in bloom. Although just a small plant at the moment, it is an early, long lasting bloomer.

Aucuba

Aucuba

The Aucuba 'Picturata', or Gold Dust Plant, in bloom. It has miniscule, black blooms. I believe these plants come in male and female varieties, and that one of each is required for good blooms. I do not have mixed genders!

Fotinia

Side lane, with Deal's Fotinia

This is the side lane, showing the progress with the Deal's Fotinia. All the red leaves are new growth. Fotinia are not quite weeds, but they do grow vigorously!

Mediterranean Heath

Mediterranean Heath

This is the front garden, on the way to the front door. These plants are, I believe, Mediterranean Heath. I have no information from the builder about what is in the front garden, but I did find a plant tag, and the picture looked like this, so I presume that is what I have. They flower for months, and require almost no maintenance.
