I recently moved to zone 8b from a lifetime of learning in zones 6 and 7.

I see a lot of plants here that I have never seen before and many I know, but was never able to grow up there.

These two shrubs are lovely and the one with wispy flower has a gorgeous scent! I think the other is a laurel-maybe? They are blooming in January, so I know I never saw them in the frozen north.

Appreciate any input!

First one looks like a viburnum, second one some sort of buxus,

1. and 2.Viburnum tinus.
3. and 4. Sarcoccoca.....which has amazing scent.

Thank you so much!
