Burning Bush



A fascinating and unusual plant and an appropriate post for a Sunday.

From Wiki...
Dictamnus Albus grows about 60 cm high. Its flowers vary in colour from pale purple to white. It bears large elegant flowers of various colours: red, white, striped or blue.

The name "Burning-bush" derives from the volatile oils produced by the plant, which can catch fire readily in hot weather, leading to comparisons with the burning bush of the Bible.
