Plant Badges Growing in Your Garden

Below is a photo of me wearing a few sprigs of boxwood in my bonnet at a local Highland games this past October. Boxwood is another plant badge, besides white heather and red whortleberry, of the Clan Macpherson - also, there are other Clan Chattan clans and families who choose to wear boxwood as their plant badge.

Looking good there Kyle!
I love the examples you've shared.

Along with my white winter heather, I had planted a summer variety (so I'd have constant blooming/colour). Unfortunately we had an unusually drier/warmer summer than usual and despite my best efforts I ended up losing both
The longer established winter variety (shown at the start of this thread) survived in fine style.

I think I'll try again in the Spring (this time), and give them a fighting chance.
