Lynn, that is a tree (I think) that is used in bonsai that I got at Wee Tree in Garland Nursery. It was identified on ATP as Premna microphylla but is often referred to as Premna japonica, a synonym. To me the leaves look different on the two Premnas but you know how the taxonomists are in recent days (clump many together).

Bev, almost everything looks better in spring! I didn't do any grooming before taking the pictures so you will see dead flower stalks etc. The table fared well in the hot spells. I kept it watered well. At one point early on the Premna and the Styrx tree on the other end wilted (scary moment for me). That is when I knew I would need to water deeper and more often.
