Looks like a great way to contrast and compliment the common red, pink and oranges of flowers.
A well done and interesting new presentation to the banner.

Thank You! for that lovely banner! Hurray!

I have a new(ish), very small Fothergilla `Blue Shadow', which I bought for the bluish leaves and great autumn colours. It hasn't bloomed yet, but now I'll be looking forward to the flowers too. Thumbs up
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Thank you for all the nice comments, thumbs and acorns. I tip my hat to you.
Fothergilla 'Blue Shadow' is a wonderful smallish shrub, hope you can find one Mika. The leaves are beautiful grayish blue, and in early spring it has these cute bottlebrush blooms. I've seen a few bees on them, but no butterflies. Thinking it blooms to early for butterflies ...sure would make a pretty image.
