To the best of my knowledge this particular Pink Heather's latin name is "Erica Carnea" although it is possibly a hybrid. Erica Carnea is a low growing evergreen plant with a spreading habit. Generally it produces flowers from January to late April. Its natural habit is the semi alpine regions of Northern Italy and countries bordering the Adriatic Sea.
This particular example was photographed in the grounds of St. Peters and St. Pauls church in Fareham (Hampshire) on New Years Day, and along with Snowdrops in the same grounds was one of the first wildflowers I photographed this year.
My equipment of choice for photographing wildflower is a Canon EOS7d mkii with a Tamron 90mm macro lens. Luckily it was a fairly bright day despite the cloud cover enabling me to use a pretty fast shutter speed with the lens wide open and not too drastic an increase in the iso settings.... f2.8 1/500sec and iso 320.
