If a poinsettia, it most likely looks wilted in response to the very cold temperatures a lot of Florida (and other parts of the southeast) have experienced recently. This is a semitropical plant and not tolerant of cold temperatures. If grown outdoors, it needs a pretty much frost-free environment in order to thrive - won't make it in zone 8 and only just marginally hardy in zone 9.

Howabout Illicium? Ted

if its improperly planted.. to close to the house.. for the ultimate vigor of the given plant.. then frankly .. you have 2 choices... prune it repeatedly and dont complain.. or get rid of it ... it looks like a common shrub .. of little or no real value.. perhaps elderberry/rogwood.. i am sure someone else will ID it ... but i hope you get the point ... foundation plantings are planted.. it hide the foundation.. NOT ON THE FOUNDATION .. and too many peeps dont understand.. that that cute little plant in that small pot.. is going to be a monster someday ... the fact that i can see the siding 12 to 24 inches back.. i am sure that this 4 to 6 foot plant.. is too close to the house ... good luck ken

floraluk- 'Flowers may have a scent or not. Leaves may have a scent or not. Flowers and leaves on the same plant do not necessarily smell alike.' So, I guess I can conclude it is not the Cherry Laurel because the leaves should have a scent regardless of whether it flowers?
