Garden Flora Puzzle
I really like this spectacular shrub, it produces this beautiful red colour at this time of the year, but I haven't the faintest idea what it is called except that when people refer to it, it sounds like Pirrus or Pirius or Pyrous. I can't find it in any of the reference books I have here, any idea, it's driving me nuts and I'm spending far too much time on it!!

It's a very common shrub called Pieris and this variety looks like either 'Mountain Fire' or 'Forest Flame' - it could be either. it is sometimes called the Lily of the Valley Shrub because it should produce bunches of hanging flowers like lily of the valley does. I am surprised MZ doesn't know! xxx
Pronounced Pea-er-riss or peer-iss
