Correa 'Alba', a native perennial of Australia, has appeared here before but I never remembered the name of it. Happily, having recently passed by a potted cutting for sale, I can give both the name and some current photos. Blooming now in my garden, this is an unassuming shrub with none of the attributes to recommend growing it - no rich scent, not particularly attractive foliage, etc., - but it does make a nice thick hedge and gives the outdoor cats a place to hide behind. It's also darned difficult to photograph as my camera wants to focus on anything other than the blossoms.

What a beauty! I've never seen it before; certainly wouldn't grow here but there are lots of things that won't grow here--and lots that will. So I guess it all evens out, doesn't it?
Indeed it does all even out, Jodi. There are so many plants and flowers that I know so well from my hot valley gardens of years ago, that don't do well here on the coast. Luckily what will grow here almost makes up for it. Almost. :)
Fabulous flowers and well captured with the droplets.

Another beautiful flower in your garden.
