    Ferocactus hamatacanthus

    Cactus with no name I've had this for many years, it will stab me at the slightest opportunity and probably never get big enough or old enough to flower.

                    Sarcococca confusa flowering nicely and scented on warmer days. Berries seem to take about 18 months to fully ripen.

                    Buddleja salvifolia "Alba" This is the first of my buddlejas to flower this year. About 2 months earlier than most years. Strongly scented and with beautiful foliage.
