The great thing about seasons is that they come again!

The great thing about seasons is that they come and go and then come again. I'm so pleased that it is January because the Daphne odora Aureomarginata is in flower again. 

I took me a few days to make up my mind about my bunch for this week. There is plenty of interesting branches and foliage around like hazel catkins, ivy berries and various dogwoods, from bright yellow to fire red, to name a few, but with the Daphne in flower, I knew I had to do something with that. 

The flower of Daphne odora Aureomarginata are pretty nondescript, but they make up for that with their wonderful, powerful scent. I added some yellow roses that are still on my Golden Celebration bush - although I do doubt that they will actually be able to handle the heating inside. We'll see. 

I also added some viburnum flowers and for foliage, rosemary and fern leaves. The little vase is on the bar now and it's a delight to walk past it.
