Tiny little purple balls
Hello there,
I would really really like to be able to find out what this plant is called - my partner and I were walking in Hampshire, in the south of England and we spotted this unusual little plant that appeared to be growing out of someone's front garden. I will try my best to attach pictures but so far its not letting me. The colour of the flowers on this plant are really unique and rare - they are a gorgeous metallic shade of purple and they come in tiny clusters of balls. The stem is a light woody colour and there is no foliage with this plant - they resemble slightly misletoe but mistletoe has leaves generally, which is not the case with this rare plant. Please help! Any sort of clue would be wonderful - I have searched high and low and nothing has come up. Many thanks.. Christelle |

Christelle -- Christelle Is it what you saw in Hampshire? http://www.3d-picture.com/media/diar...shikiu400a.jpg If that is the case, its 'murasakishikibu' or Japanese beautyberry (Callicarpa japonica Thumb) . The fruits would stay as it is after all the leaves are gone. i guess you might saw it with no leaves. If my brain cells have been activated properly, i may have hit the mark.grin Ono |
