Not much to look at Tetrarch but that scent....... opened the front door today and just thought springs here at last, the bees were swarming round it.

I've got the popular balsam tree Kathy & the new foliage has been filling our garden with perfume. Do you know it?

Flowers are pretty, flowers are fun
I put them in my garden one by one
I fall in love with this and I fall in love with that
But Skimmia really bore me, Im not buying it - thats flat!
Dont tempt me with the perfume and pictures on the right
My garden's getting crowded, and the budget's getting tight,
I didnt fancy small plants, now Bj's spoilt that
And Karen and that Spritz keep tempting me..oh drat!
My Irises are jealous they dont like competition
If I didnt like this site so much I'd send it to perdition!!
