Chocolate without the calories today! My front garden is filled with the scent of chocolate-vanilla from the flowers of Azara microphylla. A small evergreen tree with upright growth, delicate leaves and tiny yellow flowers found under the foliage in early spring. Great for a courtyard garden, appreciates some shelter.

Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Aphrodite’, a late flowering cultivar of witch hazel in full flower in my garden. It has a wonderful scent and has just received an RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

A fiery combination to warm up winter Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Pallida’ and in the background probably Cornus ‘Midwinter Fire’. The scent from the witch hazel flowers was amazing.
Hopefully will have photo of blizzards of snowdrop flowers for you soon.
