*Choisya ternata |Mexico; |White; |This is a shrub for warm
(Mexican Orange |Rutaceae |Summer, |soils and sunny position,
Flower) | |but much |when it makes a big, leafy,
| |depends |glossy-leaved bush,
| |upon |smothered with clusters of
| |position |white flowers that, from
| | |their appearance and
| | |fragrance, have earned the
| | |shrub the name of Orange
| | |Flower. At Munstead in
| | |Surrey it grows so
| | |rampantly that it has to be
| | |cut away to keep it within
| | |reasonable bounds. In "Wood
| | |and Garden," p. 63, it is
| | |mentioned, the month is
| | |May; "The Mexican Orange
| | |Flower (Choisya ternata)
| | |has been smothered in its
| | |white bloom, so closely
| | |resembling orange blossom.
| | |With a slight winter
| | |protection of fir boughs it
| | |seems quite at home on hot
| | |dry soil, grows fast, and
| | |is very easy to propagate
| | |by layers. When cut it
| | |lasts for more than a week
| | |in winter."
