Here’s another botany quiz: I’d love to know what this little tree/bush/shrub is—this is the first year it has ever produced blossoms. I opened the door to put the pups outside on this morning, and voila! There it was, full of blooms! I went out and investigated, and got my camera to document it, in the hopes that somebody can identify it. The flowers smell lovely–kind of like honeysuckle, only not nearly as strong as I think honeysuckle is.
I planted this thing probably ten or eleven years ago. I’ve always cut it back more than I did this year—in the hopes of making it fuller and bushier, and less of a “switch” producer! Perhaps my lack of pruning is why it was able to blossom? I’d love some help on this subject, if anyone has any knowledge to share.
