I didn't prune back my Syringa Red Pixie, a petite lilac with lovely flowers which I first planted in 2014, after it had flowered in early summer. It has rewarded me yet again with producing a second flush of flowers which have opened this week. It's such a pretty little shrub which gives such fragrance when in flower. You might like to try growing it yourself. I know the description states that the flowers are red but when open they are a deep pink, as you can see. It's strange though. When I first bought it the flowers didn't appear quite as spikey as they do now. While I was busy taking photographs in my garden, the resident Ragdoll cat, Alfie, snoozed in the sun.
