A little magic
by Colour Your Life
Right now there is a little magic occurring in the garden. A small and very special group of shrubs flower in late winter, just as the days are lengthening and spring is approaching. Of course these are a delight, bringing colour and excitement to beds and borders. What comes as an unexpected pleasure is the scent that some of these produce. Especially if situated in sheltered corners of the garden, this scent can accumulate and intensify in the moist, heavy air of winter days.
