It must be over 11 Yearssince I got seed of this from one of the Seed exchanges. It germinated readily and eventually one seedling was ready for planting out. Since then it has moved around the garden looking very ordinary and never, never flowering.
Last week I spotted a BUD. My Chimonanthus praecox was finally going to flower.
Now comes the sad part, the flowers are small and as Henry Taylor noticed when we were in Golspie my hands are beginning to shake. Even so I am afraid you are going to have to put up with blurred pictures just to prove that it has finally done it. Probably because I told Brian to rip it out as a waste of time and space.

11 years isn't too bad - I waited over thirty for a rhododendron to flower. (I had nothing better to do, obviously!!) Hmm, you won't be getting a whole garden full of scent from one flower - so I hope it does better next year
