Intoxicating aromas of irresistible January flowering plants

Peter Dowdall is in olfactory overdrive from the scent of irresistible January flowering plants.

Why is it that all the best scented shrubs are in full bloom during January and February?

Okay, so maybe that’s not totally true, because with that question I’m ruling out roses, lavenders, and several other summer beauties. But it is true to say that what January may lack in terms of colour in the garden, it more than makes up for with scent and beautiful aromas.
