Our mock orange shrub has exploded this year with its fragrant white blossoms. So lovely to see and smell.
It amazes me how a plant can remain dormant or somewhat unnoticed in the garden and then, suddenly when the time is right, thrusts itself into the spotlight. Perhaps it’s an analogy for us all. Mind you, the endless rain we’ve had of late probably made a huge difference, too.
In any case, we’ll enjoy its splendor while it lasts and hope that with proper pruning it will be just as magnificent next year!
