The spoils of lurking...

As (too) often happens I end up at 10pm after a busy day wondering what I can post. One technique to resolve the problem is to go lurking - camera in hand - around the house and garden to see what I can find.

Tonight's offering is this little shrub that fascinates me for the sheer variety in the various stages of flower development. I've no idea what it's called but no doubt Mrs S will come to the rescue in a comment.

All that remains is for you to click to view on black please... pretty please?

Lovely mix of colours. Do you know what the yellow flowers are - I have some near my back fence (in Australia).

Your lurking paid off handsomely. This is such a beautiful plant. I'd love to know what it is.

Have just had a scout about for this shrub and have not yet been able to identify it. Am on the case!

[Margo Sayer]

Can't remember it’s name and haven't (yet) found it in my book. Am on the case;-)

Wow, it's quite fascinating with all those colours. I guess the central berry turns pink after the flower has gone. I think it's hypericum - I was intrigued and googled it.

[Krista Marson]

such cheerful colors
