These trees bloom off and on all the time, then all of a sudden shed their leaves, grow new ones and bloom in a few short weeks. They have been putting on a real show for the past month.
Wild Olive
Suz, I wonder if this is what we call "sweet olive" here. Do they have a powerful smell? The flower looks the same.
Lisa, not sure. They sometimes call it "Mexican Olive" here. It does have a nice smell.
Sweet olive flowers are very tiny, those don't look tiny to me.
doesnt look like sweet olive to me either, although it did look like a mexican petunia, lol

p.s., cala, how you be girl?
Mary, now that you mention it, you are right. Frannie has sweet olive, very fragrant, very tiny blooms. These blooms are large, like a catalpa flower sort of.
Jen, I think I'm getting settled in, lol.
I think this may be Texas Olive.It sure is pretty.
