More and more this recent addition to my garden is impressing me.
Exochorda macrantha 'The Bride' aka Pearl Bush had beautiful buds and flowers, and now it has lots of unusual-looking seed heads developing.

As you can see from the above image, Exochorda macrantha The Bride has a beautiful weeping habit. My only problem at the moment is that I have planted my relatively small specimen in a terracotta container on a plant stand, and despite the label saying it is slow growing, the weeping branches have grown and are trailing on the ground. The plant has almost doubled its size in just a few months! That's not entirely a bad thing, except that I need to raise it up somehow or the new growth will be damaged.

When the seed heads develop further, I will add more images to this webpage. I believe they go a nutty brown colour.
