I snapped a photo of this lone bush on my walk this morning, it is either a young tree or a shrub, been flowering for a couple weeks now. In a wooded area full of native bird dropping trees. I thought maybe a fringe tree but doesn't quite look like the images I found.   |

| Looks a little like: Chionanthus virginicus Fringe Tree (Chionanthus virginicus) Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

crawgarden said:Looks a little like: Chionanthus virginicus Well, I thought that also, however they bloom in the spring. Also these flowers haven't opened anymore than this for two weeks now, see the pink coloring at the base. Maybe they're going to open more but tree is blooming in the fall/winter, not spring.  |

| It looks like Baccharis halimifolia.... Quote wiki...."Widely used common names include eastern baccharis, groundsel bush, sea myrtle, and saltbush, with consumption weed, cotton-seed tree, groundsel tree, menguilié, and silverling also used more locally. In most of its range, where no other species of the genus occur, this plant is often simply called baccharis." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... These are not flowers but white seeds dispersing https://www.google.co.uk/searc... This link shows the flowers.. http://www.floridanature.org/p...

| Looks like the native Sea Myrtle (Baccharis halimifolia) to me too. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| @Silversurfer thank you for such detailed info. Much appreciated. @plantladylin - Lin, yes I now realize I see it often but from quite a distance, never so close up, your photo is beautiful. Thanks to all of you for an ID. I'll marked as solved.  |
