The shrub was promising its beautiful blooms since weeks already, but now it’s really there: My Witch-hazel ‘Jelena’ is blooming!
Not very enthusiastic yet, that’s true, but that will be better within a few weeks. On this moment, one twig has many beautiful blooms, the rest of the shrub shows only a few scattered flowers. In fact, my Hamamelis isn’t that early: in most years it started blooming in the last week of the year.
But my round-leaf Cyclamen (Cyclamen coum) has been speedy this winter: during the past years, it only started blooming in the second half of February. This year, the fall- and spring blooming Cyclamen neatly succeeded each other: One week ago, the last flower of C. hederifolium faded, just at the moment that the first bud of C. coum opened.
And Daisies? Well, I spot them almost year-round…

That’s a lovely flower! Do they smell nice? They have a reputation for scenting the winter gardens.
Happy New Year 2012 to you.

@Amarylis: yes, this cultivar is definitely scented. And since the weather is extremely mild these days, you can smell them very well

What does it smell like? Is the scent describable?

@orientallily: difficult to describe… it’s warm, flowery, but with a hint of spices…
