Patches on Feb 17, 2015Oh wow! I only posted this question a VERY short time ago - maybe an hour? and I already have 3 responses. This board is fantastic! Thank you so much. @Maureen Wilson: I must not be doing my Google search as narrowly as I could so thank you. It seems as though it's a rare Mexican flower called "Magic Dogwood". @Barb Rosen: interesting that it's making the rounds so I guess something stirred up interest! Thanks to you all for replying.Helpful Reply
