Abelia x grandiflora

"I have been gardening now for over thirty years.  I have prowled around parks and pleasances in many corners of the earth and have read as widely as most: and yet, still they come, the new discoveries, the unknown beauties, like fresh young dancers who suddenly drift on to the stage as the ballet is drawing to a close."   Garden Open Today, Beverly Nichols
