Here is Eurya japonica with flower buds. I didn't think we could tell if these tiny flowers had opened yet, but now that I read the POTD postings (Feb 8, 2006 and March 15, 2013), it should have been easy to tell from the smell - entirely absent in the cold of winter, and these just buds. Daniel Mosquin has a habit photo from ten years ago in the Photographs forum. This is not the same individual, so I'm keen to see if it's a male plant (and maybe not as malodorous even in bloom). This is now in the Pentaphylacaceae family, which eFloras says are bisexual, but these are dioecious. I was excited to see that it's cauliflorous (having flowers growing directly from the woody branch). I've never noticed the seed heads of anemones and was quite taken with this one - Anemone hupehensis. The cones on this Cephalotaxus sinensis will get quite a bit larger than this. Nice bark. [Edited]Not many people have read this yet, so I'll add in a photo from the day before - Meliosma pinnata var. oldhamii. The light and the rainbow were more exciting than I was able to capture.
I was excited that day about Polyspora axillaris, it has several buds so we are looking forward to see camellia flowers
OK, thanks. I thought I saw the term used for this plant, and I saw several definitions that indicated that it applied where flowers formed on woody branches, not just the main trunk. I got over-excited.
I see via your link that eFloras is also using the 1849 name Pentaphylax euryioides - without including Eurya japonica in the list of synonyms on the full species account page.
