I came across this scrub recently on a rainy day walk at the North Carolina Arboretum. It was full of these lovely red flowers in the center of each bunch of lovely green leaves. Have you seen it? Do you know what it is? Do you know why I say it has a fruity scent? Have you smelled it–do you know what it smells like?
…Have a wonderful weekend!! See you again soon.
I have this same shrub at the corner of my lanai but with a white flower. No clue as to what it is.
Thank you for the beautiful greeting cards. Such a treat that each one has three of your fine photography!
Arden, you are welcome.
Sweet shrub or Calycanthus floridus
You are correct! Thanks for reading.
I think it’s called spice bush.
Spice bush is another shrub that grows in similar places, but does not have these red flowers. I will check though just to make sure the plant I am thinking of doesn’t also have this name. Thanks for reading my blog posts and for taking the time to comment!
Fire Red! Everybody knows it isn’t really Pink.
