Had a stroll around our patch yesterday afternoon and was assailed from all
sides by the scents, particularly noticeable were Coronilla valentina,
Hyacinths, various daffs, Ercilla volubilis and by evening Akebia quinata.
The Ercilla is particularly scented with the sun on it and seems to smell
more from a distance than if one puts a nose up to it.
If we do not get a hard frost in the next fortnight the Holboellia is going
to be magnificent this year its absolutely lagged in buds.
Been suffering from a ruptured disk in my back the last couple of weeks
which is showing signs of getting better so all in all "feeling good
today"!!
