Own a small ranch in NW Montana. The property is a jungle of plants/flowers. I can tell you just about anything horsey, still learning about plants😄

Hi all my wonderful GT'ers. Sorry I have been MIA for so long. Mom was diagnosed with cancer, had to have emergency surgery because it was blocking her kidney. We decided to move here with me.

I've missed you, and contrary to some, I have not ditched you. This pic was taken, and was covered in sno

Oh wow @gjones ... Still snow on the ground? We didn't get much snow this past winter. So, ours is all gone. And I try to behave. I just feel like I'm in a straight jacket. It drives me nuts. Lol

Still not sure about #plantid🤔🤔🤔. Some of y'all have said azalea, but I'm still not quite sure that is correct. 😭😭😭

No definitely not an azalea. The flowers are #gaura like but they don't all grow up one spike like that. 🤔 perhaps @justin or @mikethegardener can help?

Thank you Stephen. The leaves on this are jagged @Hawick1514. The oleanders that I am familiar with are smooth on the edges, but the shape is similar.
