Morning everyone. I have rather a lot of #sweet-box-confusa seedlings growing, I think Iβll pot a few up as gifts #foliagefriday #sarcoccocaconfusa πͺ΄

Mor Jane ..Great idea Jane π

Morning Julie. There are lots more round the other side, I might have to have a market stall π€£ @juliesgarden

Go for it !!π

Morning Jane π±

Morning Elaine π @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

One tip, Jane. Donβt pot them up individually as they do better when thereβs two or three to a pot. Apparently they like company!!! ππ

Oh, thank you Barbara, I'll do that π @jacaranda

Morning everyone. The #sweet-box-confusa looked gorgeous yesterday with the sun shining through it ππ€β€οΈ. Itβs a bit different today, itβs raining at the moment thwarting our efforts to get the raised bed built ππ¦ #sarcococca-confusa

Morning Jane, I'm sure it'll improve later π

you ever tried one of those berries?

Morning Janeβ¦..just heard thereβs snow for November π

Lots of berries = lots of babies! π€π€

Morning Jane.. lovely π

Looking promising, I don't think mine has ever had berries - come to think of it I don't think it's ever had much in the way of flowers eitherπ

Morning Jane a very soggy morning π§οΈ Itβs looking very healthy, at least you have all the components ready for the buildβΊοΈ

Lots of berries there Jane π Rainβ¦isnβt that often the case when youβre desperate to get on with an outside project π€·ββοΈ

Oh no Elaine! Need to get my ensete sorted soon then! π

Morning Jeremy, I hope so but it's not looking very promising at the moment βοΈ @jpea

No but apparently they're not poisonous π€ @honestgreensco

Morning everyone. The berries are looking colourful on my #sweet-box-confusa β€οΈ #sarcococca-confusa

Morning Jane, almost Christmas looking π

Morning Jane, so fresh and healthy lookingπβ₯οΈπ

Morning Jeremy, Iβm ignoring that comment π³ππ @jpea

Morning Elise, I love the berries at this stage, they look great against the paler new foliage π @Auricula

Morning Jane. Great colours together ππ―πβ€

Morning Jane .. lots of berries appearing β€οΈ

Morning Jane π the berries looked as though theyβve been polished to perfection!

Morning Pauline, thank you, I think so too π @flof1952

Morning Julie. Itβs a berry good time of the year (sorry ππ) @juliesgarden

Morning Angela, thank you, it took me ages πβ€οΈ @italydiva

Morning Jane looks a nice big one ππΌ

Thanks Joan. I've never noticed mine to be as highly scented as it is this year π₯° @joanboston

Looking out of the bedroom window I can see weβve had our first real frost of the season βοΈ I wonder if my last dahlia is still standing. Itβs too dark to see yet. In the meantime this is my contribution to todayβs hashtag #berries π€. Have a lovely day and wrap up well if you are going out #sarcococca-confusa #sweetbox-confusa

Looks full of them Jane! Iβll have to check mine later, I think I have a red berry one but canβt quite remember, in fact I donβt think Iβve even seen a berry on it yet? Not had it long so maybe it was still quite young

I've had this three years and it's the first time it's had berries. It's still quite a small plant so I was delighted to see them this year π @richard.spicer.7906

Morning Jane...so thats what the berries are ! Another tree identified, have a whole hedge of this, was trying to figure it out ππ»

Morning Julie, glad to help. When it flowers the scent is amazing, you'll love it π @juliesgarden

Oh nice π

It will smell amazing- a whole hedge fullπ€©π€©

They remind me of blackcurrants π€π

They do don't they, I think I'll leave them for the birds though π @anges

A first for me, my little sweet box has berries but I thought they were supposed to come after the flowers in spring π€. Have a lovely day #sweet-box-confusa #sarcococca-confusa

Morning Jane.. everything weird at the minute, Iβve got alliums coming π²

Morning again Julie, yes that is weird. Iβve got some hyacinths peeping through but no signs of any alliums π @juliesgarden

Morning Jane ππΌ

Morning Elaine πββοΈ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Morning Jane πββοΈ you too

Morning Jane π« Definitely trying to confuse π

Noticed mine had berries on it just the other day. Perhaps its Covid, it seems to be the excuse for everything elseπ

Morning Jeremy, thank you π @jpea

Morning Jason πππ @hebelover

Morning Joan πππ @joannie.a

Good morning Jane that's great for the birds and they look so juicy for themπ€

Morning everyone, I hope you have a fragrance filled day. I got this back in the front garden yesterday near the front door where I can appreciate it delicious perfume #sweet-box-confusa #sarcoccocaconfusa #front-garden-redesign-pelly πββοΈππ

Morning Jane β

Lovely! It really is there time at the moment.

Morning again Natalia @RedFuchsia πββοΈ

Morning Elise, I think they all are, but theyβre so worth it arenβt they ππ @auricula

Thanks Rich, it certainly is @richard.spicer.7906 ππ

Morning Jane ππ

No smell on mine Jane, but the flowers havenβt fully opened

Still a tiny little plant but I have a flower and one or two more buds, Iβm so looking forward to this getting bigger and being able to enjoy its perfume Jacqueline @awomanonabike ππ

Good morning Jane! βΊοΈ

The smell is fabulous!!ππ

Itβs that small I canβt get down to it yet Shelley @ShelleySnyder ππ

Morning Jane, hope it's a grand day for you πββπββ

Morning Jane πβΊ

Morning Jeremy, thanks and for you too @jpea πββοΈπββοΈ

Morning Pauline @flof1952 πββοΈπββοΈ

Oh how exciting. Mine is pumping the scent out at the moment and filling the whole of the front garden. Give it time π PS It may be small but itβs not the dwarf variety, itβs #sarcococcaconfusa π

Iβm loving watching it grow, it looks really healthy. Iβve got it in the bed right near my front door, just the right place hopefully @awomanonabike ππ

Oh, I must alter the name in my plant directory @awomanonabike thank you ππ

A perfect place I think. Iβm so glad you like it π
Late Autumn 2018

@awomanonabike still very small, but I do believe I have flower buds ππ

Ohπ―

πππ Small but perfectly formed! Just wait until you get the scent when they open... π

It was so tiny when you gifted it to me Jacqueline, and you warned me it was a slow grower, but I'm so chuffed to see buds. I was looking at some at the GC today and they were Β£16 each, bigger than mine but not what I would consider to be big plants by any means @awomanonabike ππ

@awomanonabike oh yes, I can't wait to get the scent, if I can get down that far π±π

ππ Just as well youβre small, like me!

@awomanonabike I had to show you this Jacqueline, lots of new growth, still very small but it looks so healthy, thank you so much ππ

Look healthy Jane π

Itβs a little beauty Sue, it was a gift when I visited Jacqueline last November @lovemygarden65 ππ

π€π€π€

Thanks for showing me Jane. It looks really healthy π I hope you get a few flowers, they smell so wonderful

ππ Iβm glad itβs not just me that does things like this π€£π€£ β¬οΈβ¬οΈ @suerichards

I hope so too, it would be lovely @awomanonabike ππ

Whoops, Iβve only just seen what I did, sorry Marilyn and Sue @lovemygarden65 @suerichards @awomanonabike πππ

Morning everyone. There are so many #berries on my #sweet-box-confusa this year that the scent will fill the house when I open the front door π₯° #sarcococca-confusa
Morning Jane .. lots of food for the birds there ππ»π
Morning Jane. Wow so many berries ππ―
Morning Julie. Funnily enough the birds don't eat them but it's very near the house so I think that puts them off π€ @juliesgarden
Morning Pauline. It's really come in to it's own this last couple of years π₯° @flof1952
Must admit I just noticed yesterday how many berries were on mine
It must be a bumper year π₯° @joannie.a
Loads of berries
