Hebe
- One of the largest species (90 – 100) of evergreen shrubs, most of which are native to New Zealand

An early blip tonight - we have a wedding rehearsal in Nelson this evening. My husband is playing the bagpipes for his niece at her wedding tomorrow afternoon.
So, I apologize, for once again being late with comments and replies.
