May Bush
The May bush is one of the
most spectacular white flowering shrubs you can have in the garden, but it is
even more so when used as a hedge. The name can be confusing as it flowers
profusely in September and October in the southern hemisphere but flowers in May
in the northern hemisphere.
I have always loved these
cute little white flowers as they are like a miniature bouquet. There was one at
my childhood home, so it always reminds me of Mum. I used to love picking the
flowers and turning them into pretty confetti. My daughters middle name is May,
after my Grandmother, but I had really also wanted a flower name as a middle
name for her, so this was a nice compromise. It flowers in October, Evie's birth
month, so it's a good sign. I purchased one about 15 years ago for our first
home and it grew into a huge bush and I am thrilled that this house also has a
large bush flowering heavily too.
