Here's Our Latest "Baby"
Here's its Mummy in St. Kitts
Recently when Mar and I met Lynn & Marv in St. Catharines, we commented on how much we loved their Royal Purple Smoke Tree, (Cotinus Coggygria 'Royal Purple', for the technically-inclined botanists among you), and that we were planning to acquire one to add some foliage contrast to our mix.The young one is green, but the foliage does become a beautiful burgundy.
They kindly said they would unearth one of the babies spouting beneath it and yestersday we drove over to pick it up.
Now we must find the best place to plant it ... it is a very showy specimen, especially when it flowers, which look like clouds of smoke.
Thank you Lynn and Marv!
