ID Flowering bush, any ideas?

Post by joelham »

I have this white flowering bush in my backyard, it has vine-like behaviour like a bouganvillea. It layers itself along the ground and had a pretty awesome display of flowers. Hoping to get ad ID and see if it's bonsai-able.
Any ideas would be much appeeciated.
Thanks!!!

I want to try one also...have it in the ground. Slow to form any thickness to the trunk, long internodes...but I feel possible to make a bonsai.
Look at trachelospermum, start jasmine, but dont style it in the same manner.
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.
