Bodnant Viburnum

We had no winter so far in Belgium (what I strongly regret), only VERY mild and wet and stormy weather.
As a result, nearly all winter bloomers (like this Bodnant Viburnum) are already in full bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier than is usual.

Bodnant Viburnum (also known as Arrowwood) is a delightful early flowering tree that produces clusters of pinkish-white blooms from mid winter to early spring.

Its fruit tree blossom lookalike flowers have a rich sweet fragrance and withstand even the most severe frost (but that's no problem at all this year).

Dutch name : Bodnant Sneeuwbal
German name : Bodnant-Schneeball (auch Duft-Schneeball und Winter-Schneeball genannt)
Latin name : Viburnum x bodnantense

    Almost hard to believe that it is now starting to bloom already. But in any case, doing good for the eyes. Beautifully photographed with a very nice sharpening progression and perfect cut. Bw, Roland
