A Flower to Stop and Smell: Edgeworthia chrysantha
Posted in Around the Garden on April 8th, 2011 by Ann Rafalko – Be the first to commentSince no one has yet been able to invent the scratch and sniff Internet, you’ll have to come to the Garden in order to smell this incredible plant. Currently blooming on the Ladies’ Border on the southern end of the Conservatory Edgeworthia chrysantha, commonly known as the oriental paper bush is currently in bloom and suffusing this small garden with an ethereal perfume. A detour to visit this unassuming plant is an absolute must if you’re coming to the Garden this weekend to see The Orchid Show: On Broadway.
