I went to the Portland Classical Chinese Garden last week just in time to see the blooming Edgeworthia. Edgeworthia, a relative of Daphne, has fragrant flowers that bloom in winter and early spring from unusual looking buds. It is a very interesting shrub that is not very widely used here, so it is always a treat to see. Here's the dirt on Edgeworthia:
Botanical Name: Edgeworthia chrysantha
Origin: China
Plant Type: Deciduous Shrub
