Summary
| Description |
English: Colourful stems of a cultivated specimen of Leycesteria formosa growing in a flower bed in the village of Paxton in the Scottish Borders, near Berwick-upon-Tweed. Four different stem colours are visible: from right to left: grey bark of a fully-mature, woody stem; deep salmon-pink young stem; yellowish-green young stems flushed pink, and a mid-green, young stem. L. formosa is a popular ornamental shrub often grown in the U.K. for the sake of its attractive flowers, wine-red bracts and pink to purple-brown fruit, but this image reveals it also to possess some merit as an ornamental of the type grown for the winter colour of its stem bark - more usual examples of which include various species of Cornus ( 'Dogwood') and Salix ('Willow'). |
