RE:  Could it be Saruma henryi

Chris, I sometimes miss your postings because of your reverse format. So I didn't see this at first. I knew my mention of Stylophorum couldn't be right (leaves wrong) but I just took  a stab at it.
 The Saruma looks lovely; I can see why Auralie likes it. I'd like to try it myself sometime, though at his point, can't. I lost almost all of my shade last fall and I'm scrambling to protect what I have.

Hi Auralie,

I'm sorry about your hip!  I hope things get better for you and that teenager shows up.

Could it be Saruma henryi?

If so, I'm jealous.  I tried growing it here, but it never seemed to thrive.  I could never get more than a couple of years out of a plant.
