is this beautiful bush that Dad "planted" (his usual method of planting was to take a cutting, no rooting powder, and stick it in the earth... if it grew, it grew... if not, he pulled it out and tried something else) in our front garden.
It was huge... must have been nearly 7ft tall, and was even wider (you get some idea by the fact I had to point the camera upwards to take this photo of about the highest flower on it last year)...

And it never needed trimmed to maintain its shape... it just stayed in a lovely, neat kind of ball shape...And in summer (about now, for example) it was a absolute mass of these gorgeous pale lilac flowers!
Now, I'm sure someone with green fingers will be able to tell me what this was called because, frankly, I don't have a scooby... and I don't think Dad did either.
