LONICERA ELISAE

 Lonicera elisae is a hardy and very reliable winter flowering shrub.
 Supposedly it is fragrant but the weather is usually too cold then to catch the scent. 
Unlike Lonicera x purpusii, it flowers on completely bare wood. Should it come out in June it would be hardly noticed but is a welcome sight here in February and March.
