Hooray! That's exactly it. Thank you so much for your help.

The easiest way is to open a free Photobucket.com account. Upload you pictures there. You do not need to re-size them. Copy the html line beneath each photo and paste here in the message portion of the post. You can paste multiple pictures within the message.

Thanks for the help, sorry i haven't gotten online since i posted my question. It looks most like an ixora out of all of the suggestions so far, but you know how ixoras flowers form a half dome? well this plants flowers were in a globe shape, but stiff, waxy petals like ixora. I think its too cold here for ixora, and this plant was very fragrant and a dark pink. Any further guesses? Thanks a lot,berklady
