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.



~Thanks All, sadly it's not a heppy memory, but we will plant one and
remember the good times.

Thanks to all that helped.



I hope it brings comfort and as you say, a memory of the good times. I'm
very sorry to read this, Mike.


Thanks, it's amazing to think that I get such support from people I have
never met, I'm very humbled.

Mike
