Searching the internet can be enlightening.
As it was the other day when I discovered 'The Hortiphile' -- San Francisco Botanical Garden's blog written by Lisa Van Cleef: Lisa's not only super-savvy about plants, but a wonderfully engaging writer, too.
Richly fragrant Luculia had a starring role in a recent post: Photo courtesy of San Francisco Botanical Garden
Luculias grow in the Rhododendron, Asian Discovery, and Moon Viewing Gardens.
Should you be in the Bay Area, pencil in a visit to SFBG - a must-see on any itinerary!
Beautiful! Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plant! It reminds me of living in CA. At first glance I thought it was an oleander. :0)
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out her blog! Thanks for sharing Alice. ;>)
ReplyDeleteHortiphile! What a catchy name for a great blog.
ReplyDeleteWould that shrub grow over here - subtle and alluring shrub.
ReplyDeleteHello all!
ReplyDeleteI must look into the hardiness zone/temps for this beauty. Intestingly, even San Francisco is a different microclimate than my garden 1/2 hour away.
