Question Wondering if you might know what type of tree this is. My friend lives in Orlando and bought me a cutting. She doesn't know what it is either! When it blooms it has big pink/purple flowers on it. The leaves look like Sea Grape leaves....This site won't let me post the photo of it. Is there another way to send it? Thanks for any help you can give me.
Answer Good morning Sheri, It sounds a little like hydrangea. Purple petals with a little pink near the center but almost everyone recognizes hydrangea so that must not be it. My email is primitivefarmer@yahoo.com, if you want to send me a picture. My claimed field of expertise is bog plants of northwest Florida but with a picture I should be able to name your plant or find someone who can. Have a nice day and happy almost fourth of July, George
