Looking Forward To Sweet January

My husband and a friend landscaped the backside of our backyard a few years back. One early January I was getting hints of the most amazing fragrance and finally tracked it down to Sweetbox (Sarcococca), an evergreen shrub with tiny, delicate, highly fragrant flowers. Now, I look forward to January. I once thought winter was a barren time in the garden. Now as a amatuer gardener, I know there are many winter plantings to please the eye and tickle the senses. Have planted more Sarcococca, to sweetened up the winter walk in the backyard. To bad we don't have scratch and sniff on the internet. Another winter favorite of mine is Red Twig Dogwood.
