Slutty in Pink

This last one is in-between a puff ball and a slutty eyelash. What’s exciting about it, besides the fact that it is stunning, is it has low lying branches, so I can propagate it the easiest way, layering. I’m going to take a knife and peel one side of the bark, then I’ll bury it ½ inch in the dirt and cover it with a heavy rock. Next spring I’ll pot it up for the season and plant in the garden in fall.
