C Cirrhosa is winter-flowering, and evergreen.

Interesting. I may have to find me one!
Thank you.

There are some C. cirrhosa which are scented, but I've not managed to
get one. Some years ago I took myself to Wisley in the few days after
Christmas. It was misty. As I went up the steps through the rockery
to the Alpine house a wonderful scent hit me. It was a cirrhosa in
bloom around the base of the big oak tree. Is it still there? I
can't get to Wisley now. Anyone know what variety it is?
