Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 100) Choisya ternata

I don’t remember where I got the cuttings for this Mexican Orange Blossom shrub, but I know that I started it myself about fifteen or more years ago. We planted it against the fence in the woodland garden and we’ve been able to prune it close to the fence. It blooms nicely every spring and the flowers have a nice scent. The leaves have an odor that is unpleasant to me, but it isn’t strong and I only notice it when I brush up against them or have my nose right in the middle of the plant.

Here is what the plant looks like today:

For 2020, we’ll just keep this plant trimmed and fed adn enjoy it as a backdrop to the koi pond.
