If I had to make a guess, I would say Japanese boxwood, Buxus microphylla japonica.

Thank you for the compliment, I think it is coming along nicley as well.
The two dimensional pic is a little deceiving, it is not as thick as it looks, and it has a gaping hole in the in the upper left of the canopy where I have moved that first branch down. Fortunatley I am getting growth from a branch that I puned an ugly bend from, and this growth should fill that hole nicely. This species is growing much faster then I had a first realized, once it became accustomed to the tub it is in now.
I didn't get any growth the first year after collecting.
I am thinking a nice big brown unglazed rectangular pot, what do you think?
