| This is growing in zone 8 north central Fl. & the photos were taken in the last day or two. The shrubs are deciduous -- I know that. The blooms have a wonderful sweet scent & are reminiscent of what ligustrum blooms smell like. A pretty powerful fragrance for such tiny blooms. There is no irrigation there & it's way too far for any hose to reach so these are mighty tough shrubs! Other than a little bit of high shade for an hour or two per day these shrubs get beat up by full sun from dawn till dark. These tiny blooms are snow white & are so small my camera is not able to get close up enough to show all the detail. The blooms have 4 petals. In the photo I chose a strange growth of all green (throwback) to show the blooms to better advantage as they get washed out against the variegation.  I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown ~~ |

| I'd like to know, too. It looks really familiar, just can't place it. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. |

I knew you would call it Jay.  I doubt that I will ever be able to positively ID the particular variety so how do I put it in the db? I can't find the parent plant. Can you give me some direction please? I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about.

| I don't see a parent plant for it but I agree it does look to be a Euonymus japonicus ... maybe you could put it in the (I think) 3rd listing down for E. japonicus): http://garden.org/plants/searc... ~ Eat, Sleep .... Play in the dirt ~ |

Thanks Lin, I will check it out.  I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown ~~ |

 Oops ... since there's no parent plant entry I'm not sure where it should go. I'd think since it is E. japonicus that's where it should be placed. But ya know, if that's wrong it will probably be declined.  ~ Eat, Sleep .... Play in the dirt ~ |

| I think you're on the right track. I will research it & see what can be found out. Just need to get the time to research it. Got really busy all of a sudden.
