The mystery shrub is Caryopteris divaricata, 'Snow Fairy'. It has insignificant blue flowers and beautiful variegated foliage.

It has insignificant blue flowers and beautiful variegated foliage. It is one of those plants where the foliage makes it special not the flowers. It has become a favourite!

I have one older clump that is just starting to open and one new plant that was purchased this spring. I think it got an early start because it was in a greenhouse previous to arriving in my garden.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-160886509458866022014-07-24T20:56:54.464-07:002014-07-24T20:56:54.464-07:00So beautiful!

But they are blooming now and so pretty so I think I will just pull some around the edges and maybe transplant one of my rogue peonies right next them.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-30028324353283780452014-07-21T11:10:34.828-07:002014-07-21T11:10:34.828-07:00Your garden is looking spectacular.

I didn't find much at my garden centre...was told that 'people aren't buying roses anymore' because they are considered to be too much work. I may have to research and drive a bit south - I might even try 'pushing the zones' a bit. LOL. We'll see.

LOL<br />YOur pictures are beautiful as usual ... I have the pink gillenia but it has not flowered yet for me ... then again I trimmed it up when I planted it so that is probably why .. I hope it will eventually flower some time because your white one looks amazing!<br />Love the pictures by the white picket fence ... it is a perfect combination : )<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-44217310333930961502014-07-19T09:01:55.555-07:002014-07-19T09:01:55.555-07:00Oh my gosh, your photos are always so, so beautifu...Oh my gosh, your photos are always so, so beautiful.

What an interesting flower. I always like to hear of native plants, although I don't always see the same ones in my gardening store. July really has been a lovely month so far, hasn't it. I just could use some slightly warmer days, as this week had the feeling of fall to it and it's much too soon for that! Enjoy the upcoming weekend Jennifer.

The garden at the front is relatively small and the back garden was always too shady for roses. Now with two big trees in the backyard gone, I suddenly have more areas in sun and new potential spots for roses. More roses are one of the many plants I am now thinking of adding.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-68551806811333662612014-07-17T06:23:32.607-07:002014-07-17T06:23:32.607-07:00Your garden is gorgeous Jennifer!!!
