I've had this shrub in my garden for a while and always thought it was called Rhodotypos scandens which I think is in the rose family. But just noticed that all the flowers seem to have four petals, not five like rose family normally have. Have got its name wrong or can rose family have 4 petals sometimes. I do know Rhodotypos is unusual in rose family for having opposite buds. |
