Description


Hello all, hope you are enjoying your weekend. This is my Mexican Orange shrub. It grows by our deck and when it's in bloom it smells wonderful. It's always alive with bees at that time too. Hope you enjoy...Thanks for stopping by..Take care:0)bonita Mexican orange is a small and compact evergreen broadleaf shrub that gets about 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m) tall with a similar spread. The leaves are opposite and palmately compound with three elliptic leaflets, each about 2-3 in (5-8 cm) long. When bruised they give off a strong and pungent smell. The white 4 or 5-petaled flowers are about 1 in (2.5 cm) across and deliciously fragrant. They stand in clusters of 3-6 above the shiny rich green foliage. Mexican orange is very showy, especially during its blooming period which lasts several weeks from early spring to summer. Honeybees and butterflies are attracted to the fragrant flowers which are very similar to orange blossoms.
