Pieris japonica (Japanese andromeda hybrid)
Japanese andromeda is a early-spring flowering shrub and it basically comes in two colors: red and white. The genus has only seven species (found in Asia and North America) but there are many hybrid varieties, thirteen of which have merited the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society's, Award of Garden Merit. The white one in photo number three is just a baby but the mature red one at the end of my street must be over four meters tall (13 ft). Something to remember if you're thinking, "Why don't I plant an nice ornamental shrub?"'

Pieris japonica (Japanese andromeda var: ‘Valley Valentine’)
Japanese andromeda is a common early-spring, flowering shrub and it comes in cream-colored to pinkish-red varieties. ‘Valley Valentine’ is probably the darkest red of them all, and this one’s putting on quite a show just up the street. The flowers last for about two weeks and this specimen is over ten feet tall.
There is a health warning on this plant. It’s deadly poisonous to humans, cats, dogs, goats, horses and cattle. If you eat the leaves or flowers of Japanese andromeda symptoms may include; salivation, headaches, vomiting, cardiac failure, and death. Japanese andromeda may be beautiful but be careful where you plant it. Consider this a public service announcement from your friends @flowerishness.
