  13. Your garden appears to be further along than mine but we're slowly coming to the point of buds and blooms. What is the stinky bush? That made me chuckle!
    Did you lose any plants over winter Wendy?
    Have a great Victoria weekend.

    1. I'll post another photo soon and maybe someone out there will be able to identify it. I've never seen another one in the garden centres, but the flowers really smell awful! Yes, I lost a few things ... redbud tree, lavender, balloon flowers so far. Not sure what else. The wigelia took a real beating, but it seems to have about half still living. Two harsh winters in a row is really tough on plants.

  18. So beautiful! We are constantly fighting the dust here so nothing ever looks that green. A stinky bush ... very interesting. Hopefully the lilac aroma will overpower the stinky blooms. : ) Best wishes, Tammy
