Last Monday's plant feature was the beautiful Loropetalum chinense, and we are now in the midst of their blooming season. I recently encountered a mass planting of much larger specimens and thought it was worthwhile to add them here to give a sense of perspective of how large they may grow in optimal conditions. I also included a few more detail shots of buds, flowers, fruit remnants, and leafing patterns. These are always important clues to look for when identifying a plant. Enjoy!
