This paperbush started out with three flowers on Feb 2021. I had covered it with an ad hoc green house made of storm windows and kept it from freezing with 5 gal heated water buckets for 10 days when we had a hard freeze.

This is an American paperbush in our backyard. It blooms now (Jan Feb) and the aroma is very sweet and strong as the flowers slowly open into yellow spheres.
