Any chance of a larger photo?

And although this looks like a creeping groundcover thing, is this possibly a shrub?

Thanks for helping out here.
This is the only other picture he took of it:

He got the cutting in Sacramento if that helps any.
The cutting is very woody and redish even up to the tips where the new growth is. I put it in a cup of water and it perked right up.

Hubby said it was a small shrub about the size of a basketball and had been planted there for about 3 months.

It looks to me like Viburnum tinus.

hmm. rosemariero6,

It sure looks like it could be.
But due to the size and where its planted Hubby doubts they'd plant such a plant in that bed. Its at the front edge.

rosemariero6,

You're exactly right!! Hubby finally got word that its a
Viburnum Tinus  Spring Boquet Compactum.

I have 2 Viburnum tinus ÂSpring BouquetÂ, but didn't know they made a compact form. Hmmm! Might have to look for that now!
