If memory serves me right, it was Madeira Island. It was growing in an arboretum she was visiting. It was blooming in the early spring...hope this helps.

I looked up Taramix and although the flower looks similar, the foliage is very different.

Maybe a type of lilac? Does it have a scent?

We may just have to go to Madeira to do some on-site investigating.

Tammie, I thought of a type of lilac, too, because the leaves are similar. Don't know if it has a scent, she didn't mention it. I was wondering if the flowers open more than what is in the picture...they kind of look tubular.

I think it is a Japanese lilac bush should bloom a few times in the summer
