Cotone Aster

Cotone Aster

Purchased a Cotoneaster (it is one word but to remember how to pronounce it i list it as two words) last week and am setting it up as a bonsai plant. It is a ground cover plant and fairly hardy ... keeping it well drained will be the challenge.

It currently has many very small ball or perhaps about-to-bloom blossoms. The small ball looking blossoms seem smooth but upon close photographing they look like this:


Very hairy and i'm assuming that the ball edges are the opening of the blossom which i've read will be white.

The full plant looks like this:


The close ups are of the small ball/bulb on the tippy-top left ... amazingly small for having so much hair!
