Hi CaseysMom!

Thank you so much for suggesting the Hydrangea Forum. I went there to the Gallery and went through some of the Help ID's thinking maybe I will see it!!

Yipeeeee....I did! It is not a hydrangea but a Clerodendrum bungei. Someone else described the leaves and stems as having a "vitamin smell" LOL!! I Googled it an it is indeed my plant!

This is kinda funny because my 2 very, very favorite plants in my garden are my Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) and my Blue Butterfly Bush (Clerodendrum ugandense) I just would have never guessed it would be the same genus.

You guys are great. I have not posted much because I always seem to find the answers I need by searching GardenWeb. Just wanted to say thank you...there is a ton of info here...and it is all appreciated!!

There are lots of different kinds of clerodendrons, aren't there? I'm glad you found it. It is a lovely plant.

Clerodenron bungei is also referred to ass Mexican Hydrangea because of the sstriking similarity. I love them.

Another common name for Clerodendrum bungeii is 'Cashmere Bouquet' and when it blooms, you will know why. Despite the acrid, skunk odor of the crushed leaves, the flowers have a very pleasant fragrance.

Butterflies love the blooms.

It's a thug, sending out runners all over the garden, but easily rogued out where you don't want it. Wear gloves so you don't have that awful smell on your hands if you pull them out. There's a house in town where they grow up through the hedge by the street and they are a beautiful sight.
