{Our Ligustrum japonicum}



  • A very old fashioned type of shrub but still a great blossom in the spring I love to share here with you.


  • Their fragrance is quite strong too.


  • Added bonus is they are ever green! You can see however the new and tender 'spring' leaves that have been added to the ever green family...

  1. Hi Mariette, this is gorgeous. I love the green leaves next to the bright white. Stunning!! I bet your home is filled with a beautiful aroma. Do you bring some stems inside for a vase?

    Have a special evening.
    hugs, CM

  5. Hello Mariette, These very appealing flowers look more like a wildflower than a garden shrub, especially in the natural setting in which you show it, apparently bordering a woods.

  6. Dat is zeker een struik van vroeger. Wij hadden deze ook thuis in de tuin als omheining en de bloemen die geuren heerlijk zoet.
    Ik wens je voor straks een fijne dag Mariëtte.
    Lieve groet, Mea

  10. Dearest Mariett.

    What a beautiful shrub but I have a feeling it would not survive our New England winters.

    I'm still looking for the very fragrant mock orange my mother had.

    Enjoy the sun...........*s*

  11. Ein wundervolles Gewächs - und die Blüten sind
    schön anzusehen. Schade, dass es noch kein Geruchs-
    fernsehen gibt. Dann könnte ich auch noch den Duft
    geniesen.
    Liebe Grüße schickt

  13. Dear Mariette,
    Ligustrum is here very common as a hege. It is a nice substitute for Buxus, which suffers now to the bux moth. I love the tiny blooms and the heavy scent. Thank you for sharing your spring.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    You have so many nice varieties of flowering trees, you are so lucky!
    Thank you for sharing all those pretty flowers.
    I hope you have a wonderful week.
    Hugs,
    Angela.

  17. Lieve Mariette,

    Wat heb ik als kind graag gespeeld achter de ligusterheggen die de hoekwoningen hadden in de volksbuurt waar ik ben opgegroeid,het waren voor ons kinderen kleine kamertjes waar we zitjes maakten in het zand,de kleine bloemetjes plukten wij en prikten die in het zand in het midden van ons zithoekje zoals een vaasje op tafel.

    Kan me de geur van de bloemetjes nog zo goed herinneren.

    Maar volgens mij heb je klein en grootbladige hagen,de bloemen op jou foto's zijn in elk geval veel groter dan aan de heggen uit mijn kindertijd.

    Liefs,Ger

  18. Dearest Friends,
    Thanks for all the comments! To Celestina Marie I can reply that usually we do not bring these into our home. This shrub is huge and stems to cut are also quite difficult to handle. Yes Jim, this shrub is planted on the border with our neighbor's wooded section.
    The European Ligustrum I recall as a child, is a lot smaller in size and perfect for a hedge indeed.
    Hugs to all of you and thanks for reading here!
    Mariette

  19. Dearest Mariette. This is indeed a lovely shrub with beautiful blossoms. Many grow as large as trees. I actually noticed some tree like specimens just today.
    Love to your, Ginger

  21. A real asset is an evergreen shrub that flowers in Spring!
    It is beautiful and being fragrant is a bonus - what a good choice.
    Hugs
