      Far be it from me to ask, but shouldn't some of this be in what's flying and fluttering thread or the land water wildlife thread.

            A bit of spring in my garden. Flowerbeds still not finished. Being here for 4 years, and start understanding on what's happy and what doesn't grow here:

              Azara microphylla. This Chilean shrub has a mass of small flowers on the underside of the branches. Has a scent of chocolate vanilla, strong enough to smell as you walk past.

                        Thank you Michael. :) I took a few shots of the whole area in amongst five pine trees but they didn't show up very well.
