Flora, you are on a roll today. Thank you.

Kochia scoparia, maybe? It's called Burning Bush sometimes. (I assume you're mean that it isn't the Euonymus alatus Burning Bush.) WW Here is a link that might be useful: Kochia

Most definitely a Gardenia! I see some chlorosis, needs a fertilizer with iron in it like Mir Acid by Miracle Gro.

Just got back in from taking some cuttings from my Dr. Seuss and realized that I forgot some info that might be useful to those trying to take cuttings: Take the cuttings prior to when frost makes them hang limp in form. The older woodier stems are more likely to form roots in water than the newer less woody stems. Make sure you keep the orientation of the cut portions so that the bottom most portion of the cut stem is inserted into the water. In other words, remember the orientation of how the stem was growing outside when you place it into the water. When people sell the cutted portion of the stems, they normally mark which end is up and which is down on the stem with a magic marker so you know which end to stick into the water. You can also grow these plants in pots and overwinter the pot inside a garage that stays above freezing in the winter. Cut the plant back severely and then just bring it into the garage. Water only sparingly during the winter. You may get some green growth during the winter if your garage gets warm and if it gets some winter sun. I used to grow one in a pot since the ones in pots always seem to get started up faster in the spring (most likely due to the soil in the pot warming up much faster than the ground soil), but basically ditched it after several seasons since I grew tired of bringing it in and out. Here is a picture of one of the years I brought it in and it actually bloomed in the garage one winter.
