Flowering currant? - Vinny - 23-01-2022
Is this a flowering currant? which is currently (sic) in full bloom. If so, I want one for my garden as it would cheer me up no end when not much else is flowering.

I think it's Viburnum "Dawn", Vinny.

It looks more like a cherry to me. But I really don’t know.

I'd go with a viburnum of some sort as it's in flower now.

Another Vote for Viburnum.
Flowering currants smell of cats, rub the leaves and they smell of blackcurrants (a bit).

Strangely, I have a viburnum in my garden somewhere so will have to find it and see if it is flowering.
(Wonders, are they hard to take cuttings from?)

According to this it's scented as well so I will have to have a sniff!

Just bought a plant off Amazon as with Prime I get free delivery. Can't be bad at £8.99 delivered. (Wonder whether it will have any flowers on it?)

Ooh, I have one of those - I was wondering what it was
And Googling it just now has also helped me find out that my other shrub that's currently flowering is a winter-flowering honeysuckle, so that's a double win!
