Stauntonia hexaphylla

I discovered this for the first time at Edinburgh Botanic Garden last year Magnoliamad. It took me ages to ID it. It's wonderful and yes, the scent!

We find it a bit of a thug - grows so fast - tries to colonise drainpipes etc. A mixed blessing this plant.

Yes, well I guess up here it wouldn't be nearly so rampant! Lovely at Edinburgh as it covers a small stone wall outside one of the glass houses where nothing else is growing. I love to see things I've never come across before...ah, I must go to Edinburgh again soooooooon!
