Skimmia japonica

The aroma of this is beautiful!

It smells heavenly Deb! @latebloomer

After months of being in bud, let the fun begin.... Its flowering!

👏👏👏👍😊

It's going to be fabulous! 😍

To think that four months ago I would have said no to having one of these in the garden Sylvia, now I love them. I've only got a small one but I think I may get a couple more later on this year. 😊😊😊

I don't blame you @pelly I have four now but this one has by far been the most stunning!

👏

This skimmia has given me colour in this border all winter but it's so full of buds, it's going to be brilliant when it flowers! 😃

That's going to be fabulous Sylvia. ❤❤❤

Gorgeous! I tried skimmias for the first time in the autumn and I've loved them, definitely bang for your buck 😀💕😀💙

So true @LadySmiff 😍

@pelly you couldn't squeeze mitre in there if you tried! 😍

Morning Sylvia @SylviaDavies you are going to have one Amazing flower show when they all open 😍 i haven't got any of these in my garden think i will now after seeing your pic 👌. Hope you have a lovely day Sylvia 😘

Morning, I had a lovely skimmia in a pot until storm Doris ripped it out 😢

Thanks @latebloomer I think it's going to be rather overcrowded lol

oh no! @angiecrazycatlady

@jadojado29 would recommend as a winter theme for sure! So little else to smile at you in winter!

Absolutely beautiful ! I've just recently bought one in a pot and the smell 👌 😥@angiecrazycatlady

@titchyfra hope you're doesn't fly off in a storm. I thought I was being clever putting it in a heavy pot that wouldn't get blown over I didn't think it would get ripped out leaving the roots behind 😢

A cold and #frosty #skimmia

Frosty in Shropshire this morning,@sylviadavies

Looks as if you've dipped it in sugar 🤗

Fabulous photo 👍

@columbiariver morning laura! We have intermittent frost but nothing on the scale of what you have! We've had a couple of -6 at worst this winter but generally not as cold as that, just murky and wet. I love clear frosty mornings! Had a beautiful day here yesterday after a clear frosty night! 😃 how is it with you? Any change?

There is light though! Same here, no doubt rainy months to come, probably when the poor lambs are born! I have to say it's been a fairly dry winter to date I think! 😃 @columbiariver

Raindrops on #wintercolour 😃

Lovely pic Sylvia 😍❤️

This is so full of buds ar the moment , I love the combination of red and green #wintercolour ... So Christmasy!

Oh yes definitely nice to see any blooms this time of year! !

This skimmia is laiden with flowers! So much earlier than last year!

Fabulous colours 👍🍁🍂🍂

Beautiful show! 🤗

Surely the skimmia doesn't flower twice does it? It gave a beautiful show in spring! 😕

Oh poor plants all over this year my wild primrose has flowered again today, i looked at it n frowned😕 least you get to enjoy twice this year 😐

My skimmia is about to flower! Hope it's watching the forecasts!

Just seen the weeds lol
