We had to look hard to see some of the flowers today, but at least we had the fragrance to guide us. Here is Sarcococca orientalis and Sarcococca confusa. These were both in the Asian Garden, but this one's tag, for location, says "only cultivated". Lonicera fragrantissima, in the Asian Garden - a pretty good name for it - and Lonicera x purpusii, near the side entrance to the Reception Centre. Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn', in the Winter Garden. The Chimonanthus praecox 'Grandiflorus' was the featured plant today. The flowers are a lot larger than the others, at least 2cm. They're very fragrant.
Re: February 26, 2013 - little fragrant flowers End of February, the Viburnum bodnantense 'Charles Lamont' by the Reception Centre is probably at peak bloom now. The Sarcococca are still in bloom. Here are two others: Sarcococca hookeriana var. digyna 'Purple Stem' and Sarcococca ruscifolia.
