Japanese andromeda




Japanese Andromeda is in full bloom. It has large drooping clusters of small, waxy lily-of-the-valley-like flowers. The plant is poisonous if consumed by people or animals. Its Japanese name "asebi (馬酔木)"means "a tree to get drunk a horse". Understandable.

  3. These flowers I never saw Annie, but they look bulky and out splendidly ... they smell good?

  4. I love the shape of the flowers. They look really delicate, like little bells.
