Purple is good too!
It took me three days to retreive the botanical name of this wonderful shrub from the archives of my mind.
It is a kind of a dancing word, Callicarpa.
It is not only beautiful, but an effective mosquito repellant!!
Now that is useful beyond measure.
You can read all about it here, Callicarpa Americana.
There is a jelly recipe too!
Enjoy!
