Very lovely...the blooms are similar to helleborus, but of course the foliage isn't. How large are the blooms? Are they fragrant?

the bloom size is about 3cm, and it is wonderfully fragrant.

It is a very heady scent. orange blossom spicy. It can almost be to much, but lovely in the garden.

I am a mite surprised , because there are species from the USA or the Americas, it is a scrub that is worth it ,well to me, the more the better.
