I was drawn to a few of these flowering bushes thinking that the flowers were some kind of jasmine. On closer inspection, I found them to be quite unique. Normally, I am not very attracted to white flowers preferring those that are red or purple. However through sheer numbers, the presence of these small flowers won my attention. I read that this plant possesses medicinal properties and the bark and leaves are used to treat various ailments.
