Ok - Sycoparottia semidecidua. That\'s a new one. You\'ll have to post that again, WR.
I love all these witch hazels! I wish I could grow all of them. And Prunus mume! I love it! My one attempt never broke bud.

1 Winter Jasmine must know that its head was on the block. It is probably its best year yet. I guess it will be worth the extra work for now. My neighbors must think the forsythia is early this year.
2 Arnold\'s Promise is being very stingy but I can still catch the scent. First bees on Feb 18th.
3. Diane is a little fuller.
4. Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis not quite open. If it wasn\'t for the scent, I would hardly know that it ever blooms.
5. Hope for Camellias this year!
