February 14, 2012 -- Daphne odora

I had intended to pull together a whole array of fragrant things on the windowsill today, but I didn't do it. Instead, here's one bottle containing two Daphne odora blossoms and a curly willow twig. What a day it was for fragrances though. Mahonia is perfuming the whole back yard, and the incredibly fragrant Daphne is blooming by the front porch. I also spent a good part of the morning taking cuttings from scented geraniums, so I still have volatile oils from those plants perfuming my hands. All in all, a very fragrant February day!
