I find the cold weather seems to heighten the scents from the garden too. Liriodendron. Rubbing my hands through the rosemary and lavender and curry plant as i pass scent my paths and lots of the daffodils were sending pleasant whiffs out today.
TY Goldfinch. Very windy and wet in Bristol this morning so do not think I will be gardening outside. Time to catch up with correspondence and housework I think. Next week is a busy one for me with a heart check-up session and two gardening club monthly meetings one evening after the other. I must start putting labels in all my plants for the Botanic Garden's Easter plant sale too. March is such a busy month this year. Just seen how I typed a £ sign instead of 3 some posts back. I really should be more careful at my age!
Isn't sarcococca wonderful Liriodendron, mine flowered for the first time this year. I cut some and put it in the summer house and after a few hours the whole summerhouse was filled with perfume.

Just been for a look round the garden. It's hard frozen, with a dusting of snow... but I could still smell the sarcococca as I passed it on the steps.

My friend has been moaning that his mixed colours collection of hyacinths seemed to be all blue but patience has been rewarded
with whites and a nearly black one blooming.
