| Can anyone identify this shrub? It's a very hardy evergreen shrub. I took these cuttings from our house in Atlanta, and I am trying to root them in a glass of water.
My journal entry is here:
http://davesgarden.com/gj/dave/viewentry/3307.html
It's a very nice and attractive verigiated design, and softwood throughout (no woody stems to speak of).
The cuttings came from a plant that is about 6 feet tall. The plant looks like this year round.
Any hints as to a name for this guy would be appreciated.

| Looks much like "Aucuba" Gold spot or dust, can't recall which one! One is Acucba japonica 'Picturata' the other is 'Variegata' .. Lisa

| Well done, Lisa. I looked that up (changing the genus slightly) and found pictures. They look very similar, but not exact. I may have a different species under this same genus. Shrug. This has /got/ to be this genus for sure, though. |

| Whether it ever has berries or not could give some kind of clue to the cultivar. But it looks like A. j. 'Variegata' to me , just going by the degree of spotiness |

| ROFLMBO! I didn't even make it to the half way mark on that thread so someone please tell me, did the person ever come back to tell where exactly her dog was? I keep looking at everyone's pictures of that garden and I THINK I see a Dalmatian on the left side of the picture in the flowers! I wish I could figure out how to do the circles on the photo so I could post it, but it sure looks like a dalmatian from neck up, showing the right side of it's head and face!
Ok ... going back to read the rest of that thread! I love a good mystery! |

| Ages ago I knew this wonderful, awesome elderly lady named Gracie who was a hoot to be around. One year just prior to Halloween we were in this bar where everyone knew everyone else, and we started talking about Halloween costumes. Gracie said she was going to wear her birthday suit. I said, "Gracie, there's just one problem - you're going to have to iron it first!" And don't you know - she went around asking all the good-looking young guys if they'd help her iron her birthday suit! Everyone just howled, it was so funny.

My BH jokingly said we were going to install a large hot tub,, put chairs on the lawn facing and Sat night when I got my pre-tub shower he would sell tickets. My best friend ask how this would be billed? A tragedy or a comedy>>>>?? I got no respect. |
