@Judy aka L@dybug: It's a burning bush Judy..... Rob cut it back a month or so ago and these buds popped out all over and that's as far as it went. It still looks the same today and the grasshoppers seem to like it. The weather is still warm here, it was 23C yesterday, Biz (my shih-tzu) and I enjoyed the afternoon on the swing. :)

Wonderful closeup and I love all the beautiful colors! I don't see many grasshoppers around here. I wish we had more.
