Just walking through our garden today makes me ask everyone to find a piece
of ground for this amazingly scented, winter-flowering shrub. I think it's
probably under-rated and under-sold. I picked one sprig and it's scenting
out the sitting room. If you don't have it, go and find it!


I have two. Neither of them are happy in our wet clay soil (despite the
books saying they are not particularly fussy) - they are both about 8
inches high and getting smaller each year, and definitely *not* scenting
out the sitting room ;-)

Viburnum bodnantense, otoh, is flourishing, and has been scenting the
garden since November.
