Long ago, I used to hide under the giant Pittisporum bushes in our front yard during Hide and Seek games.
I 'd stare up at the intricate branches and forget I was hiding.It's an old friend.Though not a native, the local honey bees have adopted it. The fragrance is that of mild orange blossoms.
This Pittisporum came up as a volunteer and it now blooms each Spring.
I've hardly watered this plant and it's doing quite well during the prolonged drought. These are blooms from late March.

ReplyDeleteWonderful macros. The details in the first photo are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I love your memories of hiding under one when playing hide-and-seek. I've never heard of this (I'm in Canada) but usually a plant that volunteers to grow somewhere does very, very well. :))
