Coccum ‘scarlet dye’ is probably behind the name of a most interesting plant #InMyGarden. On bright days the sun shines thru its purple leaves & they appear scarlet. It’s the ‘cotinus coggygria’, a variety of Smoke Bush. Earlier in the summer it was in flower, like smokey puffs rising in the hot air. I love its dark charcoal leaves edged with red.
The name ‘Cotinus’ goes back to proto-Greek days, maybe a wild olive tree in Iron Age S. Europe.

Roxburgh in Central Otago, New Zealand. The purple Cotinus (smoke bush) looked superb. Taken 04 Dec 2022 by me, afternoon.

Look at this magnificent Cotinus or smoke bush, seen in a garden in Avondale during the Auckland Garden Designfest. There were two of them and only 10 or so years old.
