Love this shrub ... particularly love those little white flowers in amongst the calyx lobes!!! Yours is looking so happy and healthy.

Its grown so big this year , trouble is when it rains the flower heads bow down with the weight .

The rains seem to be gone down here now ... the 'dry' is looming once more.
