The Cotinus I've had for years has never 'smoked' because I cut it to the ground every Winter so it makes big leaves and doesn't take up too much room. But now I have several new ones that are in spaces big enough to let them grow tall and wide, so I'm looking forward to this amazing sight later in the year. Great photo, too!
That looks ethereal!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I had never been close up to a smoke bush before and I was amazed at how beautiful it was - such a shame they seem often overlooked

ReplyDeleteThanks -this was the size of a small tree, it was very pretty growing naturally
ReplyDeleteCan't decide if I like it or find it creepy - an alien being.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it has something a bit arterial about it
