Most Fragrant Flower In Your Garden??

[imagardener]

Sweet almond. Very long bloom time in Florida, lovely fragrance and bees and butterflies love it too.

Nothing, it seems my soil kills fragrance, even supposedly fragrant things (peonia, lillies, lilac, roses, viburnums, some apples, etc. ) have very weak smell and only if I stick my nose right in the middle of it at very specific narrow window of time, and then even hints of smell are gone. My smell faculties are fine, fragrance just isn't there, it's very weird and disappointing.

I have so many chrysanthemums blooming right now that you can actually smell them from about 10 feet away. These are flowers that are not particularly fragrant. I am enjoying it. So are the bees and the Monarch butterflies.

That would be my lilac,Iceberg white rose bush and my Hansa rose bush.

All the tea olives have bloomed and fallen off.


Next really fragrant flower to come will be my Paperbush/Edgeworthia, which blooms during the winter.

Wisteria and lily of the valley

Peony

Does anyone have this plant, and if so, does it smell as good as it says, and is the fruit good? I've tried Akebia, which it says it's in the same family. Terrible common name!

I found a website that has them. The picture they have associated with it is from the JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, NC, which I've been to quite a few times, but I've never noticed this plant.

Right now, my tea olives, both white, and for the first time, orange, are blooming and the smell is intoxicatingly beautiful! OMG, I love the smell!

of the many, there's various Spring-bulbs like Hyacinths & Tulips, next Allysum, various roses, Stargazer lillies & more are so delightfully intoxicating
