ID please

According to its label in a public park this is a pittosporum tenuifolium plant, a small shrub native to New Zealand but nowadays, I gather, widely planted in gardens across the globe. The tenuifolium variety, however, seems only to produce purple flowers and to have rather different leaves. I have searched the internet for images of the many varieties of pittosporum but cannot be certain if this is one. It is flowering now, in late Spring; the flowers cluster and are about the size of those of the cherries, plums etc.

Does anyone know for sure what this is ?

Ian: The leaves and flowers remind me of oleander. We have a pink variety in our back yard that look a lot like this but the bushes are quite large - about 10 ft tall.

Thanks, Bill !! It looks very much like oleander from the images I've now looked at - and it seems bushes can be small or large. There are definitely white varieties too. Great to have some in your back yard !!

Oleander is of the genus Nerium. Pittosporum is is not oleander. Both are used in landscape plantings here in south Florida.

Oleander is planted at the office complex where I work. I'll try to remember to photograph it tomorrow for comparison.

Thanks, Buck ! If you can do a photo that would be great. I think here in the UK we are just too far north for either pittosporum or oleander to be truly comfortable and I'm not familiar with either..

Ian. Here's an oleander. Sorry about the quality of the photo - iPhone on a windy morning in bright sun. Oleander is a large shrub with an upright shape, up to 10-15' tall. One difference you can see is the leaves. On your pittosporum they are palmate and on the oleaner they are single off the main stem. I think the flowers are more trumpet shaped on the oleander.

Thanks a lot, Buck. The point you make about the leaf formation is a particularly good one.

PS what did we do before iPhones ??!!
