What in the world is this? I do not remember planting this thing but it is in my newest flowerbed where I started from scratch slender leaves ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden ) tight clumps ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden )
My first thought looking at the leaves in the first picture is an Olive of some type, but never having grown one I am not sure. Can you get a picture of the whole plant to show where that clumped part is?
The clump is at the top of the plant I will try to get different pics in the next couple of days an olive plant??? I would deffinitly not have planted one of those
Did you buy topsoil or compost for your bed? Maybe it was a hitch hiker that came along for the ride :-o
The leaves in the first photo remind me of the Honeysuckle Shrub(Lonicera involucrata). The second photo has me stumped though.
O.K. here are some different shots hope they help full plant view ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden ) Here are some closer shots of the clumpies looks like the leaves are growing in mixed sizes clos up ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden ) close up of side ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden ) close up of back ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden ) Here is what the base of the plant looks like the base ( photo / image / picture from Bluewolf's Garden ) If it is a bush Honeysuckle... do the birdies leave them as presents? I only have one bush honeysuckle and it is red is growing out by the fence in the front yard and it's leaves look alot more "stubby"
How interesting! Pretty sure we can rule our honeysuckle of any kind and Olive trees too. I have no idea what it is but waiting to see what happens involving that clump on the top is exciting Wonder if it will burst into bloom at some point. You might take a photo to a local nursery to see if anyone their has ever seen one like it. Birdies 'plant' things for me all the time and the squirrels work right along beside them. I have oak tree saplings come up all the time and the closest oak tree is several blocks away from me. I have three Ligustrum in the back yard thanks to the birds.
