The attraction of this shrub is most definitely the wonderful perfumed masses of beautiful flowers that cover it during spring. The flowers are very sweetly perfumed and when they first open they are a violet colour, fading to lavender blue and then white.
It is a striking shrub with the three colours present on the bush at the same time.
Hi, my name is Lan Nguyen, I'm from Southern California, USA. I found your web site when i was searching for information for the "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow flower" (I first saw this beautiful shrub at the Huntington Library near by my home and i love it). I just want to let you know your garden is so beautiful, it's very impressive!!!

Bernie,
ReplyDeletedo you notice any particular animal/bird/insect attracted to this plant?
Cheers,
Melissa
Hi LissaKoogz, in answer to your question ... I've only ever seen the occasional native Blue-banded Bee and the Common Eggfly Butterfly hovering around this shrub. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any other creature particularly interested in the flowers.
