Description

Yesterday evening I was to take the pizza with my former colleagues. Yes, I was a teacher of art until two years ago! After 36 years of teaching and 56 years of age, I have withdrawn ... my health I'm not allowed to teach children with the same passion as ever ... I suffer the syndrome Ménière and thyroiditis ... then I preferred to go away! But I was in excellent relations with my colleagues, even friends and, periodically, we meet to stay together in joy! In the garden of the space there was this plant that I had never seen and many of my friends have not been able to tell me the name ... you know it?

A most excellent image! Sorry about your condition. I have similar, but have found relief with vitamin supplements.

I seen some but they was all white. the berry or seed looks about the same. They bloom here later on I think. Maybe a japan flower. I heard of them and they say it toxic to our water ways. I see nothing growing under them. I not sure if this is them or what I do not know flowers
