My aunt calls it a Money Tree. I've been wanting to get it ID'd but had to catch it in bloom. Here's a full view of it. Money Tree-full ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) And a close-up of the pretty flowers. They are about an inch round. Money Tree - bloom ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) And a close-up of the leaves. Money Tree - leaves ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) I did manage to find two "saplings" growing underneath it. So I got two starts with roots! Also cut off a branch, mostly to have to take photos once I got home in case the others didn't come out good. So... I put some root hormone in a vase and will see if I get it to take root. Anyhow... any body know the real name of this shrub?
Gosh, I hate my memory right now, I know it can't think of it. It will root really well if you peg or pin a branch to the ground, or lay a brick on it. Kinda rough up the soil where you peg it. It will root right into the ground and then you can cut it from the mother plant, dig it and repot or relocate it. If I think of the name I will let you know.
I think I may have found it. Primrose Jasmine - Jasminum Mesnyi Take a look and see if you think I'm right. http://www.magnoliagardensnursery.com/productdescrip/Jasmine_Primrose.html
Yes Calin... I, too, was disappointed that it didn't have a heavenly fragrance.... but blooms in January! I'll take it... and I did! Now, I must figure out a place big enough for it.
