This time of year is so busy for gardeners--lots of weeding (ugh), planting, pruning, fertilizing, etc., that we often do forget to stop and enjoy what we're working so hard to create--smelling the viburnum, as it were.<br />Emily Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00536524180642438952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-91353104922611391442014-04-16T03:45:59.199-07:002014-04-16T03:45:59.199-07:00Hi Emily, scented winter flowering plants are part...Hi Emily, scented winter flowering plants are particularly cheery and welcome at what is usually a dull and hostile time of year. Your description of a garden of flowers akin to friends and familiar faces is something that I can definitely relate to - very comforting.Sunil Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998062749546109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-11136936576656258722014-03-27T11:07:41.765-07:002014-03-27T11:07:41.765-07:00Thanks Tammy!

The big bursting with color gardens you talk about for me are like a big hug, or like an Italian or Jewish family reunion with lots of food and kissing.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-60440488909053172252014-03-21T10:19:38.389-07:002014-03-21T10:19:38.389-07:00Thank you, Jen.

Having 'Pink Dawn' and 'Charles Lamont' the flowers begin to open in November and sporadically through the winter, and then in late January they begin to flower mor unitl late winter. Nice macro shots. (And I know how much patience it takes to get a decent macro shot when the wind is blowing. Always teaches me patience!)Debbie Teashonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216319529580399973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-13627212973299374642014-03-19T12:25:19.339-07:002014-03-19T12:25:19.339-07:00Ha!
