Didn't realize tea leaves were like this, they're very similar to citrus leaves Marguerite.

Thank you Marguerite, I never thought about them flowering. Just assumed they were all leaves.

Hi Lyd, what is asda??? I am so curious. Thanks everyone for looking at the picture. Janey, I cannot recall them being scented, yet I had my nose right into the bush when taking the pic. So I guess not. Pottygardener, I didn't know that either, but now we've learned something.

You think so? Well, perhaps a bit, but they are family to the camellia.

I love your photo collection of exotic plants in their natural surroundings. This one is especially loved by my wife as it reminds her of a trip she made there 10 years ago - david. ps. am glad you like my idea for getting kids out into the garden and learning about it.
