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.

What a fabulous find Debs - love the brightness of the colour - you have inspired me to take a trip to the local garden centre too …
ReplyDeleteNow is the best time to shop for next year's fabulous foliage! : D
DeleteI could do with one of those in my garden at the moment to brighten up this grey, wet morning!
ReplyDeleteIt would certainly brighten up the dullest day. : )
DeleteBeautiful! Doesn't cotton candy come from resembling candy floss?
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, Simone. In the States candy floss is called cotton candy. 😊
