Today I've been enjoying....


.....the beautiful perfume of this bush, known as Mock Orange to me.
Though it doesn't look it in these pics, the bushes/trees are smothered with them!
Just gorgeous!


A close up.


It makes a fabulous living screen when you have a few trees planted along the fence line! There really is a house behind it!  :)


And here is a great example.......


.....of what you get when you do nothing! Hardly ever water it, and there's next to no soil in the cement tub it lives in. Mmm, they were very yummy.

Strawberries are the angels of the earth, innocent and sweet with green leafy wings reaching heavenward.  ~Terri Guillemets

  1. Well how green with envy am I, we nurture our Strawberry plants and get very little (I think we love em to death)ha ha, and I love the Mock Orange only it doesn't like the frost or so I'm told by the locals.
    Have a very Merry Christmas my friend.
    XOXOXOXOX

  5. It is such a gorgeous scent isn't it? We have a Mock Orange in our garden but it is a small shrub with different leaves to yours.
