Pieris Japonica (Japanese andromeda)
We have a couple of this plant in our garden which we planted in tubs. They are currently in blooms as can be seen on the above photographs.
Pieris Japonica belongs to the heather family called Ericaceae. They are a native of the eastern part of China, Taiwan and Japan and lucky us, they grow healthily and profusely in British gardens whether planted directly on the ground or make a statement by putting them in ceramic or earthenware tubs as a centrepiece to the garden in spring.
Pieris Japonica flowers in early spring. The blooms looks like a string of little lanterns. They are quite beautiful.
