    Don't know what this shrub is called but it's on its way out just now but when in its prime it is covered in white flowers and dozens of bees.

    Something about the toadflax brocade moth puzzles me.
    It will strip one plant nekkid. Even when there's nothing left but the stalks, they will stay on that plant even if there's a lovely fresh one right next to it. Why is that?
    Not that I'm complaining.

    @Fran IOM - could it be a hebe?

    @borgadr  You are probably quite right there but what species I don't know. I think with the photo being so close up it is deceiving and you need to see the shrub as a whole. It is actually shaped like an igloo with an entrance at the front where the neighbourly cats can hide and I don't even know they are there. I will have to get a photo of it as a whole and it will probably be easier to put a name to it. Thanks for your thoughts on it.  :)

    Does anyone recognise this? It was on an iris, but I could see no sign of insect damage on the iris or anything nearby.
