That's beautiful, Neal. Does it have a name?

Hi everyone!
My name is Val and I live on a tiny lot in a city (only one-fifth of an acre). But I love my shrubs. So far, my favorites are Lilacs, Viburnums, and Mockorange. Yes, I garden mainly for fragrance. I also have several Calycanthus, Clethra, a Ninebark, Rhamnus, Boxwood, etc. Even though I have a tiny lot, I love my shrubs. I'm also have several spots open for more shrubs due to some hollies that weren't pleased with my clay soil.

I have one question---what's the difference between a bush and a shrub? Are things below 15' considered bushes? I've always wondered about this.

So, I'm not sure if this is really considered a shrub but it was the first thing to bloom for me this year. It is February Daphne and it's about 3 years old. It's sweetly fragrant.
