I have finally found out what this plant is called and I was close with my original title of ‘Snowdrops’, which is just what popped into my head when I looked at this plant. I now know it is commonly called Snow Queen, hence the title change. If anyone is desperate to know, its botanical name is Pieris.

I just happen to be put in the garden the other day (as i seem to be rather a lot) and saw this shot. Not entirly sure what plant the leaves are from, other than the one just to the right of the pond. It only cought my eye because of the sharp colours. Unfortunatly when I went to look at it on my computer I noticed that the coulours wern’t quite as I had rememberd, so I did a bit of Photoshop and ended up with this. / The reason for the name is because the colours remind me of the tuti fruti drink and it happend to be the hottest day of year so far (hence the summer part).
