The Cotton Candy Tree

It's my favourite time of year again, Autumn.  It's the fall foliage that does it for me.  I love summer's flowers but not nearly as much as I love the flame-like leaves of fall. 


Every October I visit all the local garden centres to see what I can add to my collection of foliage plants.  


Today I purchased this beautiful, glow-in-the-dark smoke bush called 'Cotton Candy'.


She is only little but BOY does she brighten up the garden.  I understand the name Cotton Candy comes from the frothy pink flowers that look a bit like smoke. 


I'll let you know next summer about the pink smoke.  Right now I am just enjoying the incredible luminosity of these autumn leaves.

  3. Beautiful! Doesn't cotton candy come from resembling candy floss?

    1. You are absolutely right, Simone. In the States candy floss is called cotton candy. 😊
