@daisyjuds @genealogygenie @ziggy77 @kwind @mzzhope @gamelee Thanks folks, and especially for the fav Lee. @gazbadger It's more of an ornamental shrub/tree - you see a lot of them in the US, and we used to have them in our garden in Argentina too. The hummingbirds love them, although I have not yet seen a hummingbird in Houston. This one is not in our garden, but in a neighbour's garden just up our street!
