    For once I know what this plant is ( nearly ) ! I have a Choisya xxxx , for over 10 years , it is one of my favourite shrubs.
    I thought it was Choisya × dewitteana 'Aztec Pearl' , but looking at the different types , the Dewitteana has finger shaped leaves as photo one.
    My shrub has oval shaped leaves as Photo 2 , so this would be "Choisya Ternata - Mexican Orange Blossom" ? Is this correct ?

    TIA
