    This plant passed through two people before it came to me.

    It originally had a wider trunk and lots of leggy branches. A each of the segments of the branches were little roots, so I decided to cut off every branch and root them.

    They rooted very easily, and it remained a nice bushy shape. It started to grow leggy again, and as you can see it just about falls over without support. I water about once a month.

    Then it surprised me and started to bud. The pictures show the leggy branching, leaves and the flowers. The flowers are about 8 cm in diameter.

    Any ideas what this plant is? Also I don't know if it helps but there is no scent from the flowers.

    Yes, thanks that must be it. It looks nothing like the ones in the grocery store, I would have never figured it out.
