Palustris, Very nice! Your December blooms are beautiful. I especially like the Gentiana, what a pretty blue it is!
Good morning, lovely mixture of blooms there, so different to ours here,some I have never seen or even heard of before, thankyou.
Wow!! Maybe we will make it thru to spring. Great pictures Palustris, And they smell wonderful......O.K. I have a vivid imagination. Jerry
Both the Lonicera are well scented, but this is the most scented of all. Viburnum x bodnantense Dawn ( photo / image / picture from Palustris's Garden ) V.xb. Charles Lamont and V. xb. Deben are equally well scented and covered in flowers
Honeysuckle in the garden in December?? Gosh I wish all of mine were in flower now. What a treat for the eyes Eric and I'm so glad you posted them for us all. :-D
The Gentiana flower is about 2 inches long and about an inch across at the mouth. The whole plant normally produces 20 or so blooms in Spring and odd ones thereafter. It also comes in pure white and I think there is a striped one. Both of the Lonicera are the shrub types rather than the climbers and are winter flowering ones.
Very nice ones! Love that gentiana blue! Hmmm... also got that Viburnum last fall and planted in the garden. Will see if it is happy and produces any blooms this year. Very fragrant HUH? Try Viburnum carlesii! Only saw it and smelled it at botanical garden and it was MARVELOUS!
Cal. We are fortunate in that Viburnums do well here, We have about 25 of them and most do have a good scent, but not all. V. carlesii is good, but V.x juddii is even better.
