July 18th 2016 Sunny and warm (at last)
The Japanse Spindle ( or Euonymus japonicus var. Ovatus Aureus). was purchased in the eighties of last century as a decoration plant for my apartment. Later I bought a larger house and early nineties I planted the small plant in my garden as it did not flourish all too well. Over the years it has grown to a massive tree of more than 5 meters, especially helped by our soft winters. Around July-August the small white flowers attract lots of native bees, and it's a joy to watch the plant (tree) which is partly covering the terrace by now.
