{Japanese Styrax Obassia - Fragrant Snowbell}

Around mid April our Styrax Obassia, Fragrant Snowbell, is putting on quite a show. This native from Japan is such a gem and is available at Woodlanders. We feel fortunate to have such a beauty in our wood garden. No flowers last for weeks on end, but it is worth it for the time that they do! Join me for a Garden Tour.

Hope you enjoyed our Japanese gem!
This is how they look one month later!

    This is so beautiful. You have such lovely and varied flowers. How much time do you spend in the garden on a daily basis?

    I received my lavender sachet today. Wow, that was so quick. It smells so lovely. I am starting out with it in my chest but may move it to the linen closet. Thank you so much.

    Eerst en vooral wat fijn dat je me wil volgen en dat patroon van dat beertje dat u leuk vond heb ik van de mevrouw gekregen waar we alle weken les gaan volgen om beren te maken.Maar wat een mooie bloemen hebt u rond u huis en zo een mooi huis,juist als in een film.
    Nog lieve groetjes Carine

    Hello Mariette,

    I love your wonderful garden and home.

    Your photos looks so beautful.

    May is my favorit month, because I am born in May and so many flowers grow up and give us lovely moments.

    Lovely Greetings,
    Mary

    Prachtig hoor, die struik met die mooie witte bloemen! En ja wij hebben inderdaad een bijna helemaal witte tuin, hier en daar n tikje donkerpaars.
    Fijn weekend alvast!
