Right now it's my allysum. It smells wonderful and gets lots of comments from pedestrians passing by on the sidewalk. I have many clumps of perennial white allysum growing around all 4 sides of the house. They've been blooming non-stop since last February and just keep spreading and getting bigger. They're full of bees and other autumn polinators.

That would be the Meyer Lemon, in fact I brought in inside for the winter, and those blossoms fill the family room with the great aroma.

That's one of the aromas of my childhood.

Casa Blanca Lily.
Datura.
4 o'clocks (still blooming and giving off evening fragrance, even at this time of year)
My neighbor's magnolia tree (wow, that is an amazing scent)

In the spring, my many hyacinths bloom. As soon as I open the car door when I arrive home, the smell of those hyacinths surrounds me!

In the summer, my herb garden gives off an intoxicating scent - a mixture mostly of basil and rosemary.

In the spring and fall, my gardenias fill my back yard with a delicious scent.

Japanese chokecherry. For a few brief days in May.


The last few years we have had a rainy and windy spell right after it blooms and I've had to run outside, grab a branch and take a sniff to get my annual fix.

not in my garden, but in the line fence where my dairy cattle grazed...........


It was 1/4 mile long and about a 15 ft stretch in the middle of it had wild plums.
When they bloomed in spring and there was a north west breeze, the grazing strip had the aroma of perfume.


Retired and moved, but I still have great memories of those wild plum blossoms.
