tozzin Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've just been down Heeley to take a few pictures and I came across four bushes full of Spring Blossom, it just shows how mild it is if Blossom can get fooled into thinking its Spring.

Bayleaf Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Tozzin's shrub is a Viburnum-x-bodnantense-Dawn . I only know cos there's one in our garden. The scent is beautiful, particularly on a calm day when you can smell it all over the garden. Although it's winter flowering ours often flowers all year, very poorly. (It must say something about the climate in our back garden!) It didn't this year, but now it's flowering at the proper time They seem to be good everywhere this year.

Judith Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The yellow one looks like winter jasmine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely great. In this case tozzin you're in company. My involvement in the garden is confined to cutting grass and hedges, and digging holes under supervision. Pulling/digging anything up is strictly forbidden except under direct supervision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
