Verbena bush

 Last week I posted this picture in my Wordless Wednesday post and a lot of you wanted to know more about this plant.  This picture is deceiving as it looks like this is growing on the ground.  Actually, it's a Verbena bush. 
This particular type, gets flowers not just at the end of the branches, but along the top of each branch.  It's really beautiful when the flowers open up.


Here's another picture of the same branch, with the flowers opened up.

 

 And here's a picture where you can see the whole bush on the right side of the arbor.



 This is another type of Verbena bush we have in the back yard. This one gets flowers on the end of the branches.  These flowers are so unique.  They get a circle of little flowers around the center, making one larger flower.
I enjoy both of these every Spring and wish those flowers would last longer!

    ...thank you, thank you!!! A family portrait with Alaina/and baby sister not born yet, would be fantastic by the arbor and the bush when flowering. {hint}

    Hi Mari! Your back yard is gorgeous. So peaceful...I just want to grab a cup of coffee and sit and read. Lovely!
    That Verbena bush is really healthy and pretty. You get a lot of flowers from it, don't you? Are they always white? It looks so great opposite the red leaves of your tree.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Your yard is heavenly. I have heard of lemon verbena and I wonder if this is the same thing. xoxo
