I was resting after our shopping trip and trying to place the pleasant, almost subliminal scent teasing my nostrils. Then I realized it was the Edding's Silverberry (Eleagnus ebbingei) blooming by the driveway wafting in through the open windows. I had to go out and pluck a few sprigs for my bedside table. You wouldn't think such tiny blossoms could produce so much sweetness.
