Heather C.In late #autumn, Heptacodium miconioides, or Seven Son Flower, is at its best here. Native to China, this small ornamental #tree wows with its pink calyces far more showy than its earlier white flowers.
Heptacodium is a monotypic genus- there is only one member, and this one is it. Heptacodium comes from the greek, meaning 'seven heads' and refers to the seven part flower clusters.
