I'm going to the extension office on Monday to see if I can get an answer. I looked at pictures and descriptions on the web ut I don't think its a flowering almond. It has absolutely no smell and the flowers look a little different. The flower petals look like mini chrysanthemums (the one's girls used to get for football homecoming games). So, answer coming soon!

Hi ladies, here's an interesting an fun app for all of you that have iPhones. It's called Like That Garden. You can take a picture of any flower, bush, etc or butterfly and it will tell you what it is and a brief synopsis on it! I love it. I think I may have paid $4.99 for my app but there is also an app that is free that will do basically the same it's just not as in depth.

There is also a "double" version of the flowering almond shrub, which may be what you have. Often when hybridization happens, lovely things such as scent are lost. Waiting to hear what the extension has to say. I was an Ohio Master Gardener for many years with the Extension and loved every moment of it!

And the bush is.....
It took some time for the Master Gardener's office to get back with me but the consensus was that the little bush is a flowering almond. It is such a pretty bush that I'm going to order one to see if the new one will have the good smell I've read about. Thanks so much for all your suggestions!

Looks like quilters know their plants too ... as many of us suggested Flowering Almond!
Good Luck with your new one.
