Oh what a delicate little beauty. I have read about these and debated and debated. I had not realised that that the underneath of the leaves were so attractive until seeing your photo. Any plant that flowers for so long especially overwinter must be worth its weight in gold. I will have to give this plant some more serious consideration !

I didn’t know this plant…
At first sight, I thought it to be it a member of the Ericaceae, but it seems to be a member of the bedstraw-family!

I’m trying to work out the size. How long are the flowers?

That’s a lovely plant. Our local nursery has a giant one in one of their greenhouses. I thought they were too tender to have outside around here, but you’ve got me thinking…

It’s always nice to have a plant that blooms when alot of things are long since spent.

It’s a pretty plant: the leaves remind me of the manzanita family. I wonder how it would do in the ground in an 8b zone with plenty(!) of winter rain but warm, generally dry summers?

Thats an interesting white fushia. Wonder if has a very strong fragrance. Most white coloured flowers do.

The flower is pretty, but what a lovely leaf! So neat and tidy looking…
