GET THE better of boronias
Your heart will miss a beat, then go all aflutter when you take in their intoxicating scent. Next, your heart is sure to break when the small shrubs curl up and die, leaving a hole in your garden and a searing ache in your memory for that sweet, citrusy, spicy aroma.
Springtime is when the little brown shrub is smothered with tiny cup-shaped, yellow and brown flowers, putting out the sweetest of all smells in the season. Or there is the native rose or red boronia that produce crowds of pretty pink, red or white cups with a milder but still profound perfume.
