{Loropetalum chinense ‘Plum Delight’ Our Hot Pink Chinese Fringe Flower}


  • Who does have this kind of shrub in the garden? A compact bush with a striking color of hot pink Chinese fringe flowers, or its botanical name: Loropetalum chinense 'Plum Delight' and came from Durio Nursery in Louisiana as usual, where most of our trees, shrubs and plants came from. They specialize in Magnolias and other Garden Aristocrats. It would be best to see this one in person at one of our Garden Tours from Book an Event with us.

  • Depending on the sunlight present, there is even more burst of color here.

  1. Hello Mariette,
    I am always amazed, what wonderful plants you have in your garden. This huge garden full of botanical treasures is almost like an botanical park. Thank you for the virtuel tour.
    Greetings, Johanna

  2. Hei Mariette,

    Bedankt voor je leuke reactie op mijn blog. Maar zoals ik jou planten in bloei zie staan hebben jullie ook geen kas nodig.
    Jullie tuin doet mij denken aan de botanische tuin in Terwinselen, waar wij vaker met kinderen van school zijn geweest.
    Prachtig!

    Wij hadden gisteren genoten van een zonnige en vrije dag.

    Groetjes Sandy

  4. Liebe Mariette,

    ich würde sofort einen Ausflug in euren Garten buchen, wenn nicht ein ganzer Ozean dazwischen liegen würde. Zu schön und romantisch sieht euer Park aus. Wenn ich deine Bilder sehen, träume ich vom Frühling. Beí uns blühen nun gerade die Glockenblumen.

    Liebe Grüße von Elvira

  5. meine liebe Mariette, nun habe ich mir die vielen wunderbaren Fotos der Blüten angesehen, die Du in den letzten Tagen hier im Blog gezeigt hast ... es macht wirklich fast sprachlos, wie üppig die Natur ihre Schönheiten für uns bereithält ... Euer Garten erinnert mich an den Botanischen Garten hier in der Nähe, dort muss man aber einen kleinen Ausflug unternehmen im Gegensatz zu Deinem Paradies, was sich sozusagen direkt vor Eurer Türe befindet ... ein Traum, um den Euch viele sicherlich beneiden! übrigens, von allen Blüten gefällt mir dann doch die 'Lady Banks' am besten ... so schön, ich kann es gar nicht mit Worten beschreiben! danke Dir herzlich für diese wunderbaren Impressionen ... es hat mir gerade eine große Freude bereitet, sie genießen zu können ... DANKE ♥ herzliche Grüße von der Rosabella

  6. Wunderschön, liebe Mariette - und sehr dekorativ!
    Auch was du mir über die indische Verlobung geschrieben hast, muss traumhaft gewesen sein! Wirst du auch bei den Hochzeiten dabei sein?
    Ganz liebe Grüße, Traude
    PS: Es gibt von mir bereits seit gestern wieder ein neues Posting - allerdings scheint auch heute noch in der Seitenleiste das alte von der Vorwoche auf - weißt du vielleicht, woran das liegt?

  12. Hi Mariette,
    Your Plum Delight is gorgeous. We have 2 in our garden but they are small right now in comparison. The poor things took a beating in the bad winter we had, but slowing coming back now and I think they will be okay.
    I just know your garden is magnificent and your tour would be amazing.
    It is a lot of work but the blessing in return is wonderful.

    Hope you are enjoying a pretty Spring.
    Blessings to you.
    With Love,
    Celestina Marie
