pjd1Description
I have been observing the flowering of this specimen since 2014. This plant is possibly a relict from a former garden within an old orchard. Or it may be naturalised from that source (now built over with houses). Whatever its origins this plant grows on the footpath / street verge between the foot path and residential fence. This plant nearly always flowers in the last few weeks of August (with two occurrences on 2 September). In 2021 the landowner sprayed it (ineffectually) so it died off that year but reappeared, and this is the first flowering I have seen since the attempt to kill it.
