It was at a friends house. Woody stem, very bright leaves and flowers. I stole a piece but it didn't root so now I need to know what it is so I can get one next year. Thanks!

Is there a Rhodie/azalea with a 4 petalled bloom? This is another one that it would be really nice to see the whole plant, because it surely looks familiar.

The branch in the picture doesn't look woody to me like my abelias, and does have a stem more like ...(name on the tip of my brain) grin

Which is why I would really like to see more of this beauty. That would also help with perspective/size...

Soooo, ROXXANNE!

Would you? Could you post a few more pictures?

I didn't get pics of the whole plant. It was small, she had it in a container with other plants, but I googled Centradenia floribunda and the pic at Annies Annuals is dead on. Thanks again for a quick ID!!!
