'Winter Waterfall' is a lax shrub growing to a height of about 3 m. The dark-green leaves are elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, typically 12 cm long by 3 cm wide, glabrous above, tomentose beneath. The inflorescences comprise pendulous panicles, 8.5 cm long, of very fragrant white flowers, which appear in November and December. [1]

gollark: Ah, thus esolangs?
gollark: Idea: Godwin's law but for apioforms.
gollark: I sort of like writing JS but feel guilty about it because my code will inevitably break when it hits an error condition of some sort and/or a dependency implodes, Rust is a much nicer language in various ways but stricter when I *do not actually care* about shaving off a few ms and garbage collection is fine, I tried OCaml but the tooling isn't *great* and the libraries seem to be lacking.
gollark: It's among the least bad ones though.
