On my walk in Portland, OR, I saw this really nice small evergreen shrub, it is late August and blooming, very, very small flower. This didn't photograph that well (looks much nicer in person), and I should have used some scaled object. If need be, I will go out and get some more pics...
It looks like Heather. Not sure from your pic which one. Maybe Calluna or Erica. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
Yes, I think this is it, thank you! I had no idea it was so pretty. http://grow.ars-informatica.ca/plant.php?en=284&nm=Scotch heather
There are many kinds. Local independent garden centers will have assortments on display at this time.
