Yesterday I was roaming around the grounds of Skylands Botanical Gardens and came across this flowering bush. They had lots of them planted. Does anybody know what this is? The photos show the different stages of blooming through the strange pod that comes after the bloom. The branches are ebony and it’s a large bush-like plant.

Linda, thanks! It sure looks toxic with those black, black stems. So, what you’re saying is that if eaten it sends you straight to the angels?
