Nnnnooo. I hesitated as I don't think so - if it ever stops raining, I shall poke my nose into the flowers!

The branches have a graceful 'draping' habit. I'll try to get a photo when it's full out. Its common name is 'the beauty bush' and that sums it up for me! :-)

I looked this up on the internet - well named species 'pink cloud' and 'beauty bush' but unfortunately I don't think they would suit my soil.

After reading one of your other blogs you suggested A. trifoliata to someome - think that can take clay soil. Have put it on my next to buy list.
