When the late-winter or early-spring wind is from the North, the aroma of this marvelous Viburnum farreri, Wayfaring Tree (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/6812458018/in/photolis...), wafts up to our house on a bluff overlooking the Meuse River. And besides drawing out Yours Truly, lots of insects are attracted as well.
After wading about a bit in the shallows of the Meuse - a bit too cold to do more than a dunk - I ambled by the pond where our Viburnum flowers so pinkly shine even in the overcast afternoon. And yes! Honeybees, Bumblebees, a Fly or two, and this Dronefly, Eristalis tenax. Drawn here by that sweet scent. Tenax Hoverfly was going the royal way with its tongue - and what a tongue it is! - down Flower's corolla. But Bumblebee - Bombus terrestris, I think - was gnawing through the bottom of the corolla to get at Nectar.
A bit chilled, I hurried home for my own.

Budding, beautiful yellow tulips represent happiness, hope, cheerful thoughts and a sense of achievement.
And if you plant yellow tulips in your front or back garden it's known to bring good luck and prosperity to your home.

Unfurling bud of the wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana)

In his first Eclogue Vergil compares the Eternal City Rome to a Cypress tree rearing high up above lowly hedgerow shrubs such as Viburnum. So Rome over all other cities. Many horticultural authors since, and especially in early modern times, keen on showing their historico-botanical knowledge, have quoted the Poet's lines. Thus too John Gerard (ca.1545-1612) and John Parkinson (1567-1650).
Gerard in his General historie of plants (1597) translates 'Viburnum' to 'Wayfaring Tree', a vernacular name still used today for specific 'lantana'. John Parkinson (1567-1650) - who often writes disdainfully and even caustically about his predecessors - in his great Theatrum Botanicum (1640) says: 'Gerard called it in English the Waifaring tree, but I know no travailler doth take either pleasure or profit by it, more then by any other of the hedge trees'. Hence Robinson coins his own vernacular name - so ugly, I think -: 'Pliant Mealy Tree'. I'm rather glad most people today in a variety of vernaculars stick to the ancient Latin 'Viburnum'.
Moreover, Parkinson is quite mistaken in his psychology of travellers. I myself take much pleasure through all the seasons in these pretty-blossoming shrubs and I've seen many other 'wayfarers' do the same.

The beauty of these bushes is quite flashy in autumn and more subtle in spring.
Die Schönheit dieser Büsche ist subtiler im Frühling als im Herbst.

Another ladybird. There seem to be lots of them about at the moment. Last night I went out for a meal and halfway through a Harlequin ladybird landed on my arm in the restaurant. I evicted it.
Anyway, I have a suspicion that the plant might be Wayfaring tree, but I'm not sure. Opinions appreciated.
The fruits of the wayfaring tree start off white and then go red before turning black when they're fully ripe.
