Fast-stone had an important part is creating this image.
I have just ordered one of these plants for our garden.

However, one 'feature' it has is that in fall only about 1/3rd of its leaves autumn - or should I say that in autumn only 1/3rd of its leaves fall? Don't know.
It has a LOT of leaves. Those which drop off only later, do so in spring. So we have the delight of a twice-yearly autumn leaf-cleanup. This photo was taken about mid-August, and many leaves have still to decorate our lawn.]]></description>

Kids will sometimes eat anything ...
A great display of blossom for a week or 10 days. Soon covers the lawn with a carpet of shed petals. E-3 + DZ 14-54.]]></description>

A large yellow trumpet. E-3 + DZuiko 35/2.8 macro, f/8. Should have been f/16 or more ...
Worth viewing large, in my opinion.
Sharpened USM30 with FS.]]></description>
