#VeronicaSalicifolia, aka the #koromiko, is found throughout the South Island of New Zealand and in Chile.

It is a large, evergreen shrub, reaching 2 m in height, with light-green, spear-shaped leaves that are up to 12 cm long, and pale lilac flowers. I’ve noticed some come in white inflorescence as well.

I loved discovering these.
