I'm an evergreen shrub. I stand about 6' tall and 6' wide. I haven't bloomed in several years. Last summer I was cut back on one side and this year I'm producing "flowers" on that side. My gardeners are clueless and lousy pruners. Please help identify me so they can get a clue.
I am prunus laurocerasus
also known as 'Otto Luyken' English Laurel
PS: We are NOT lousy pruners. We only pruned half on purpose figuring that if we did it wrong at least we only hurt half the plant. THANKS for helping us identify Otto!

I'm guessing Otto Luyken Laurel.
'English' or 'Cherry' Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus)
Very popular quick growing evergreen hedge plant on new developments!

Of course I have not idea of plants in your region but if I were to make a wild guess I'd say some type of viburnum. Do you even grow those there?
It's a very nice bloom on an evergreen btw.

Hmmm. I don't quite know. I'll get my neighbor (who seems to know everything) over here and make her look when she has the chance. It's sure pretty, whatever it may be.

Thanks for your comment on my photo. I am loving your blog! I've got to show it to my mother, who (I hope I'm not taking the name in vain) is quite the weed-whacker herself!
Can't wait to try that compote!
Why don't my Laurels bloom? I don't think I have ever seen any of them bloom...strange...
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Which neigborhood are you in? Isn't it funny that we both talked about rhubarb!
Your neighbor...Jean
Thank you girls, for years I've had three different names for what I have now discovered to be an English laurel and obviously they were all wrong. And by the way, there's an award waiting for you two crazy, wicked gardeners @ my place.
Cheers
WE have two hundred more of them at our nursery if you need any! Landscapers love them.
