Summer in the South NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS Blooms of Glossy Abelia, Abelia x grandiflora. This is one of my new acquisitions and right now it is quite small, but it will eventually be very tall and wide. Even now it smells like honey when you walk anywhere near it. I expect the bees and butterflies to love it. Submit a picture. Copyright © 2005 Consolidated Publishing Co.
