The genus name Spiraea comes form the Greek word for wreath, referring to the flowering branches used for garlands. The species name cantoniensis refers to its origin in South Eastern China.<BR/><BR/>It is in full flower and has about 2.5weeks left to bloom when I fear it will be bashed and cut to shreds by a new fence going in.<BR/>I begged this fence to be done in the winter.........but the fencer drove around Australia.<BR/>I also have clivea in flower that will be in danger and helebores.<BR/>Not sure if my handyman will be home (another holiday) in time to move or lift them for me.<BR/><BR/>And do not mention wisteria....<BR/>I am not even looking for the leaves which I know will appear ...without flowers any day now.<BR/>Rotten thing had a whole frame built for it...now a glory fine graces the other end of it and the stupid wisteria still refuses to flower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947418.post-2407400319215317032008-09-19T14:28:00.000+11:302008-09-19T14:28:00.000+11:30Ahhhhh!!!!
