Hi folks,

We caught the scent of this and found it on our way into the hospital
today, and would love to buy one as a memory. We have no idea what it
is, but it smells so familiar.

Any ideas? It has very dark berrys.

Sarcocca and probably S. confusa as it's the most usually grown. I hope
this is for a happy memory, Mike but if it is or it isn't, it will
undoubtedly strike a chord always. It's very strongly scented and one sprig
of it will fill a room with scent. It's known also as Christmas Box and
it's a winter flowering plant that is to be highly recommended, IMO.
