Pieris japonica

The Pieris japonica blooms with cascading white flowers. But the new leaves then start as pink to scarlet red and really steal the show.

    We’re in pretty close. The actual leaves measure less than 1/4 inch across.

    Stunning! Don’t know that flower. Really works against the grey background and the swirls of light.

      It’s the ‘Little Heath’ variety if you want to see what it looks like; not so close up. :-)
