After a week or so of sunshine we now have some welcome rain. I'm hoping that it will brighten up again very soon because here in the UK we are still in a state of Covid-19 lock down and I like to get out into the garden. I took some photos yesterday of my plants and one that is particularly wonderful right now is the Exochorda macrantha 'The Bride'.

I bought it on a whim; a must have but, when I have looked at images of the mature shrub online, it can get much bigger than I would hope for. I would say it has doubled its size in a year and for now I am keeping it under control in the same pot. It's a little dazzler though. The trouble is, its branches are longer than the depth of the pot so I am having to elevate it by standing the pot on an upturned pot.
