# I bought this plant from a lady that was moving earlier this spring…

_Posted by Stephanie on 2025-05-27_

I bought this plant from a lady that was moving earlier this spring and she didn't know what it was. The first picture is when I got it and the other is now. Any ideas what it is? The flower has no smell so far so. Thanks for the help

Perhaps it’s basket of gold alyssum. That’s my first guess.

Thanks for the help. This is why I love this app. Even my local nursery didn't know.
