Chinese fringe

Loropetalum chinensis, AKA Chinese fringe flower.

Loropetallum chinensis


Since taking these photos at a tea plantation in Suzhou in 2013, I found a white variety right here in Hamilton. The plant is even bigger; the shape of the petals are very similar.


This one found in Hamilton on one of my early morning walks around Nawton.
