Name: josephine Arlington, Texas (Zone 8a) Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.
@LindaTX8, Linda, because you are so kind you gave me this plant a long time ago:
I have the pictures in my computer and I am trying to name all of them. It is so pretty.
Can you help me with the name? I really would appreciate it.
Josephine.

Just editing your post, by changing Linda to @LindaTX8, would notify her. You don't have to change the title of the thread. It just gives her a notification that someone has mentioned her in a post.
Hi, Josephine! Well, that one looks like Showy Menodora, Menodora longiflora. Very hardy plants, but in some roadside areas where they are mowed, they tend to go away. Too bad they do that so much in recent years.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Thank you Linda, I couldn't think of it to save my life. I no longer have the plant, but the picture is lovely so I wanted to name it correctly.
So Menodora longiflora it is, thank you very much.
