This is the first flower we've seen on one of the Sweet Shrubs (Calycanthus floridus) that we rescued from the Half Moon Wildlife Management Area last year. This is one of the larger plants, still in a pot. Has anyone else had any flowers? This species is listed as threatened by the Florida Dept of Agriculture.
