smells of spring
Feb. 4th, 2013 11:20 pmYes, it's spring here starting at Candlemas, the beginning of spring. I am sorry for all of you whom the wheel of the year fails in this way.
Witch hazel: subtle and spreading, musty-beautiful in the morning changing to fruity notes at night.
Sarcococca: the perfect designer perfume (with no white musk whatsoever), almost too floral and too strong but blissful.
Viburnum: politely soft and sweet.
Clematis armandii: almost ready -- like roses and apples and vanilla; somewhere I have a stationery design that I drew with these flowers and lyrics from "The Flowers of Guatemala".
Daphne odora: not yet -- the campus ones have been sad for the last few years, but the smell is glorious and pervades the Medicinal Herb Garden bus stops when they're doing well.
