Banana Shrub Buds February 15, 2019

My banana shrubs are loaded with buds.  I have one in the shady part of the Star Garden and two along the path to the Boardwalk.  The shrubs are not attractive, they look like ligustrums, but the scent of the flowers is really special.  Just like ripe bananas.  Because the winter has been so mild we will have a bumper crop of flowers.  If the winter is really cold, the early spring flowers can get zapped and then - no wonderful banana scent floating on the evening air.
