Here's a native shrub that I have learned to love. Chapotillo or Amyris texana. It's an evergreen bush of the Citrus family, Rutaceae. It blooms spring through summer several times, depending on rain. The tiny white flowers are produced in great profusion and have a strong, sweet scent. This pic was taken this morning after good rains last week. The entire garden was perfumed and the bees were ecstatic. Small, round black fruits follow. This bush is about 5 feet wide and 6 feet high, growing under the edge of the canopy of Live Oaks.
