Seed grown shrub
« on: October 05, 2007, 12:45:42 »
Flowering for the first time and natch the label is long gone. Seen this a Bodnant, but the photo has no label either. Typical. Anyone. TIA.

No, it is a definite shrub. I will know the name when I hear it. We have Chelone and the leaves are nothing like.

How about cercis siliquastrum or Judas tree?

Agree with the last 2 posts, definitely looks like some form of cercis.

No, don't think so. This is a small shrub from what I remember at Bodnant, say about 3 to 4 feet tall. We are hoping to go next week so I will look for a label then.

After much scrabbling round at the base of the plant I found enough of a label to identify. It is Desmodium tiliifolium.  Thanks for trying.
