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 🤗

Sugared skimmia. It's pretty Sylvia. The cold has hit you.

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?

Hi sylvia. I'm really happy to report that our snow and ice are nearly gone. Temps are up *40 degrees from a week ago! Soon things will be popping up and rhodies will start blooming. But we have the rainy months to get thru.

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
