#1 is Chimonanthus praecox 'Luteus' #2 is Hamamelis mollis 'Superba' Mild temps have brought out these winter bloomers. Both have spicy perfume and flowes that tolerate frost. Do you have any shrubs blooming? |

| Have Mahonia 'Winter Sun' and another, unidentified, as well as Jasminium nudiflorum and Lonicera standishii. Only a slight gaping on a few Hamamelis buds, now, and none of my Chimonanthus are growing at an appreciable rate. For Winter color, I am depending upon colored-bark Dogwoods and Japanese maples, as well as Winterberry. My blog is 'Bogturtle's Garden'. I repeat photos and comments over and over, as months pass. |

 Probably this would be better as Lenten Blooms. I took this pic today from the local municipal ballpark. Scores of these shrubs are planted to form a monstrous hedge. Flowers have a delicious lemony smell. Can you name it? |

| This is the Standish honeysuckle mentioned above or one of its relations. Since one or more of these have become weeds back there, a big planting in a park may not be a good thing. |
|
| I've never seen Standish honeysuckle, I don't think that's what I have. The foliage here is glabrous or essentially so. I think that this is another Lonicera. |
|
| i've never smelled the standish honeysuckle but strong lemon fragrance comes from l. fragrantissima. i am watching mine for signs of seeding about. it is on tennessee's list of invasives. |
