Today's Flowers - Astilbe

Pink Astilbe next to our garden pond still developing its feathery plumes.Astilbes, also known as False Spirea or Meadow Sweet come in shades of pink, white, red and purple and are native to Asia and North America. I have seen white forms growing wild in Derbyshire. Traditionally they are water-side water-loving plants.

It's our old lady, Dominie, who has wheels to help her along when we're out . . .
