My daughter's "thing"

Post by jme »

My 11yr old daughter grabbed this from Bunnings around 2 months ago and it had no tag. She doesn't want any help from dad with wireing, styling or anything to do with her plant cause she wants to say that she did it all with no help.
Anyway, does anyone know what it is cause we have no idea
Thanks, J.

Hi jme , mate it look like a serissa foetida , some have white flowers others light pale pink . Called foetida for foul smelling or pungent when cut . Make for a good bonsai just the smell to contend with only when trimmed .
