In the springtime the new growth of the Red Tip Photinia makes a striking contrast to the deep green leaves of this evergreen shrub. In late spring there will be large clusters of small white flowers, it is a splendid sight. The Red Tip Photinia can grow to fifteen feet tall and eight feet wide. That is about the size of this one which is in my backyard.

Super shots of the stages!
We had a row of these across our backyard at our old home. I loved how the tips glowed in the spring sun.
Mine’s here: Round The Bend.
Beautiful to see these just starting out.
Beautiful macros and lovely spring light. It feels so good to finally see some sign of spring.
That are gorgeous photos, Judy!
Spring seems so far still away for us, because we are under severe weather warning today! So far we have 2 inches of snow already. have a great day.
That definitely is a splendid sight, Judy. The colors are gorgeous, it must look lovely in your yard. Nice shots!
This is wicked fabulous..love the color and feel fo the plant! Gorgeous work!

This is strange and interesting to me. I've never heard of or seen this plant. Hmm...wonder if they even grow around here. By the way, I was so enchanted with the daisies on your other blog that I saved the picture and am going to use it for wallpaper. It's bound to cheer me up whenever I see it!
Hi Judy and Miss Cindi Lou,
What a beautiful flower. I don't think I've ever seen one of those.
I imagine seeing a 15' would be amazing.
We had a beautiful weekend in Raleigh. 63 Sat and 65 Sunday. I went to a 'new age' baby shower on Sunday. Very odd only a handful of folks actually paid attention to the mom to be opening her gifts the rest were wandering about talking and socializing etc. There were some impressionable little girls there too...guess they'll never learn the proper way to act...I'm showing my age I'll shut up. The hostesses did a great job and it was a a very nice venue.

beautiful color, beautiful photos, great macro
very pretty
Wow, how complicated this flower/bud is! You let me see things so much clearer...
Nice shot :) Love the bokeh in the background.
I think these are beautiful, Judy. And spring is definitely in the air. At first you were giving us pictures to remember from another season, but I think these are from now, aren't they?
Beautiful images. I hope you'll show us again when it flowers.
I wonder if they belong to the birds of paradise family, the stalks are the same the ones we have in the garden. Lovely Judy.

That does look like an interesting shrub. I like the way you've captured the waxiness of the new growth!
I love these stages of life.
I've never seen these before. They are just lovely.

The closeup makes this look to me like a bunch of alien claws. That's the kind of thing I find extremely interesting.
Sounds like it gets huge! Beautiful though!
This set is just superb macro! Love its detail!

We hope you and Mom have a good day.

Hi Judy and Miss Cindi,
Wow! How beautiful. You NEVER disappoint us. Josie says WOOF! They are just really detailed and nice to behold. Glad you liked our squirrels for you! ;-). I'll have some more soon, I'm sure.
Much Love,
Woof,
Josie
Great to see that spring is on the way! Nice series of photographs.
Cheers,

Beautiful macro shots Judy! It sounds like a great shrub that provides something in each season. I'll have to google if the white blossoms have a scent?
Did i ever thank you for sharing your unique view of your world with us?
Well, consider yourself thanked in abundance!
