Presumably, it should be coming this way - I can hardly wait;

Philomel, styrax flowers have a faint lovely aroma and are such a nice thing in May !!! Here is a picture, although the ample light does it no justice - it is the tree/shrub on the left. The seeds are spherical and have a VERY hard skin; I am sure they will benefit if you soak them or even file them a little to get moisture inside. I would say start them now, although they may not show until March - and protect from frost. If you certainly want some and you can't catch the robin, send me a d-mail with your address and I will send you the seeds.

I will try to put whatever seeds I can find 3 - 4 times each, so anyone interested can have a go, and perhaps it would be worth considering sendind the round robin over for a second round?

............. waiting ....
