The winter themed border by the Lindbury Building is not the only area of the college gardens that has a sweet fragrance being produced by a winter flowering shrub. On the top terrace of the front quad, the shrub that is creating a wonderfully sweet aroma is Lonicera fragrantissima, Winter Flowering Honeysuckle. Home of a resident Robin, who is always singing a song as you walk by, this large deciduous honeysuckle is covered in pairs of very fragrant, two lipped cream flowers, even bees have been seen visiting these flowers this month, feeding on the flowers nectar and enjoying their scent.
