The photo is not very good because we used my daughter's toy digital camera. Also it is in a shady area. I may be able to get a better photo with my wife's digital camera. I will post a better photo as soon as I have one.
How about some scale? How big is each leaf? To me it could be anything between a vinca with leaves 1/2-3/4 inch long and a rhododendron with leaves up to 3 inches long.
Id say vinca also. However it could also be a bay plant (bay leaf) , I believe its a small leafed form of laurel. Are the leaves spicy smelling when you rub them?
I've just had a look at my bay tree. I dont think thats what yours is. My bay tree has more obvate (wider at the tip) leaves but I could easily be wrong.
Thanks, Chai. Right now, the plant has a tiny bud at the top. In 4 weeks I might know how it flowers, unless Chicago's early frost kills it. (No one should ever doubt any pronouncement made by farmerman.)
btw, the seedlings I let grow from the plants I bought last Spring have all remained really small, so they fill in small places nicely. you can easily scoop one up and replant it where you need a little fill or color.
I don't know if it's normal for the 2nd year seedlings to remain small.
The plants I got last year, for like .69 cents a piece ended up being huge, the biggest was a least 5 feet across and maybe 2 feet high. The white flowered ones seem to get the biggest. At least mine did. The pink and purple ones were a couple of feet across.
I am not much of a gardener. We have a townhouse. We share a strip of dirt with eleven other townhouses. But, this is starting to become a fun project.
