The beauty of Tea Olive


My husband knew what he was doing when he planted these tea olive bushes around the back and side of our home years ago. Throughout the year they bloom and smell heavenly, especially right now. You can read more about Tea olives HERE and see if they are right for your area or space. I put some in a vase by the front door so I could smell them inside too.

 Here is a picture of them lining the back of the house. They make a great backdrop for all your other plants. 


Here's a close up of them!


Oh yeah, while I was out clipping some for my vase I discovered that my Hibiscus plant has a beautiful bloom (so far so good)! I also stepped in dog poop (thanks Abby) and almost stepped on a cute little snail (not so good)!
