While it is starting to bolt, this cinnamon basil still has a lot of green below the flowers. It contains the same chemical that gives regular cinnamon it’s scent and flavor.
It has an amazing flavor and is used in middle eastern dishes. Or even a natural bath oil.

This colorful little shrub is actually part of the barberry family, not a bamboo at all despite the common name. The leaves sprout a pink to red color before turning green, then turn red/purple before dropping.
Very pretty plant!

Shot at sunset in the backyard… no flash. Pretty little things. The blossoms are about 1.75cm., approximately the size of a dime.
