Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 My lilies are flowering. They are so beautiful - creamy white with pink, and they smell so lovely. I really enjoy fragrant plants. Does anyone else choose a plant for fragrance. My favourites are honeysuckle, mock orange, rugosa rose, wisteria, broom, phlox, nicotiana, lavendar, and honey-scented flowers like buddleia. I lost my mock orange this year - no leaves at all. It is about thirty years old, so maybe it had come to the end of its life. I must replace it though.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I bought 3 rose bushes this year, pretty expensive disease resistant varieties chosed for their fragrance, two have just flowered and have gorgeous fragrance, both totally different. I usualy have stocks & tobaco plants in the garden, and an old honeysuckle. Tried pinks, but they didnt make it..., and of course I grow narcisi, would be a crime against St David not to.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008  That sounds lovely. Sne dme some of the rose fragrance in a bottle will you :-) I also love stocks - must give them a go next year. I have some pinks that I rooted from a bunch of flowers and they now smell lovely. It's surprising how fragrant narcissi are.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I love fragrant plants! I think lilac is my favorite. In past houses we've done jasmine, honeysuckle, magnolia, mock orange, roses, and gardenias. Nothing grows here. I'm so looking forward to moving back to fertile soil. Less than four weeks now! ~Faith > > I bought 3 rose bushes this year, pretty expensive disease resistant varieties chosed for their fragrance, two have just flowered and have gorgeous fragrance, both totally different.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I love lilac. We had a big lilac tree with beautiful flowers and a lovely fragrance. Unfortunately it was blown over in the hurricane on 1987. I must replace it (my how the years fly by!). Jo , " Faith " <tigerpainter wrote: > > I love fragrant plants! I think lilac is my favorite.
