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.

Yes! Funny you said it smells familiar - I've been given one at xmas
and it lives in a pot on the porch. The other day I smelt a very
familiar scent which brought me back to my childhood. Took me ages to
figure it out - it was the sarcococca and it had conjured up my old
piano teacher. It smells of face powder and is very musky, like an old
french perfume :o) She'd be 120 years old now ...!

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.

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.
