Looks a little bit like Japanese Honeysuckle https://www.google.com/search?q=japanese+honeysuckle&client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=saD6dWa8mX61FM%253A%252CsYhfhFaBDwy2gM%252C_&usg=__r1zlbGFKiWKSr5SrKKE5ANHB5RQ%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiAjM-MiZjaAhVI0VMKHX0EDA0Q_h0I9QEwFA&biw=1536&bih=706&dpr=1.25#imgrc=K9Oz2bUyvWGRWM: If it is, I think it's a nuisance plant. I have a piece of it out front and can't pull it out fast enough. Mine does not bloom though.

Buttoni, it does have the opposite leaf form of a honey suckle and is growing near both the native coral and winter honeysuckles, but the fuzzy leaves are not like them. Plus I think it's growing too slowly for the Japanese variety.

Shell, thank you, but I don't think anyone has given me an azalea and none are growing around here that I know of.

It's got the fuzzy leaves alright, but I'm wondering where in the world would I have gotten a California honeysuckle ? Fess up! Did you give it to me just to drive me crazy?

:D As much as it sounds like something I would do to you, nope. I don't even have that plant.

Ragna, is it that plant that has the same name as the cool one you saw when we went to visit Laura Munoz after Buda swap? I can't think of the name... maybe you'll know what I'm talking about.

Patty, I think I remember the one you mean; it had fuzzy leaves and orange flowers. The name started with 'sin...' or 'cin...' but I can't remember the whole name. I eventually bought one, but it died one winter.

You have a good memory. It's been a while since we visited Laura's garden. Good guess, but I don't believe the plant above is the same one. I may have to wait until it blooms to ID it.

I found the plant we saw at Laura's garden on Yuccado's archives, Sinningla selovii, a member of the gloxinia family. Is this what you were remembering?

It does indeed have opposite leaves, but would be a miracle if it turned out to be that plant as it's been years and years since it bloomed in my yard.

no.... the leaves are a different shape. Just a thought. Can't wait to see what it is!
