Author Topic: Mystery Bush DowntoEarth Dream Gardener Member # 6146 posted                       Anyone know by the leaves what kind of bush this is? In the spring it gets white flowers, similair to Impatients, no scent that I can remember. The bush is about 10 ft rall and last year was the first year I ever saw flowers on it. It growing in mostly shade on top of a small hill on the corner of our property.

My parents have one, and the leaves look very similar. It also produces white flowers, and is not fragrant. Just a guess. bbbbbbbbb CajunMama "Sing praises to the Lord..."

The white flowers look like someone pasted impatients on it, one here, one there kinda sparse, but if it had more light, (growing in shade don't know where it came from) it would probably have lots more flowers. Thanks for your input! Posts: 215 | From: Upstate NY | Registered: Jul 2005  |  Logged: 64.12.117.7
