Still unable to identify the plant. I visited one of the local nurseries and asked two Master Gardeners and they were stumped.
We know that it is not a variety of plants by ruling out what we are certain it is not.
Some of the things I have learned from gardening–
Gardening teaches patience.
Gardening teaches respect for nature.
Gardening is a process.
Gardening is an adventure.
Gardens are ever changing and never finished.
