The Streets of Melbourne

Found what is described as a #beautybush by my ID App but we’ve had (thanks to a load of peeps - TY!!) a misdiagnosis in an earlier post. So I’m happy to be corrected if you think this is something else totally different!! 🤣👍

Anyways, if it is what it says it is, this gorgeous thing is indigenous to China.

I do like the petite flowers and how they arrange on the branch. And I sense there a load more bloom to come from this beauty.

This was snapped in #McKinnon earlier today, #Australia.

@NessaUndreza My guess based on appearance of the leaves would be some variety of abelia https://www.gardenia.net/plant/abelia-grandiflora-glossy-abelia
Abelia × grandiflora (Glossy Abelia)

Abelia × grandiflora (Glossy Abelia) is a medium-sized, rounded, semi-evergreen shrub with gracefully arching branches, densely clothed with small glossy oval, dark green leaves and clusters of pink-tinged, white, bell-shaped flowers. Slightly fragrant, the blooms are produced continuously cover a long period extending from late spring to fall. The foliage turn purplish-bronze in the fall.
