Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve been here. Other things just always seemed to be priority. I’m posting a few pictures from today’s balcony.
It’s interesting that the Sweet Box (Sarcoccoca) is actually sweet-smelling. It’s kind of like a toned down Hyacinth. If my little Hyacinths bloom when the Sweet Box still has flowers, it will be fun to compare. It’s been an incredibly warm (up to 10* C) January here with 
lots of sun. Sorry to friends back East who are still freezing and shovelling piles of snow.
Till next time! Happy garden dreaming!
