Another plant ID please
Hi folks,
We caught the scent of this and found it on our way into the hospital today, and would love to buy one as a memory. We have no idea what it is, but it smells so familiar. Any ideas? It has very dark berrys. http://www.thegamescape.co.uk/images/plant001.jpg Cheers Mike |

Thank you very much! Yes! Funny you said it smells familiar - I've been given one at xmas and it lives in a pot on the porch. The other day I smelt a very familiar scent which brought me back to my childhood. Took me ages to figure it out - it was the sarcococca and it had conjured up my old piano teacher. It smells of face powder and is very musky, like an old french perfume ) She'd be 120 years old now ...! |

I hope this is for a happy memory, Mike but if it is or it isn't, it will undoubtedly strike a chord always. It's very strongly scented and one sprig of it will fill a room with scent. It's known also as Christmas Box and it's a winter flowering plant that is to be highly recommended, IMO. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
