Fragrance in the Garden

I've been lurking around a long time and seldom contribute.  I just don't
have the knowledge so many of you do.  But I must agree with Marjorie, I do
enjoy the list.  When Linda of San Antonia commented on how much she
enjoyed the Brugmansias it reminded me of the thread about them earlier in
the year.  I've had one for a couple of years and it's acutally survived in
my unheated greenhouse in some moderately cold weather, but I've never
noticed the heady sent the is so often mentioned.  Fragrance is also a key
factor for me when I choose a plant and I'm wondering if my nose is dying
or the plants just aren't as fragrant as they use to be.  I must say I do
enjoy the information I pick up from the different threads.  When you were
discussing brugmansias mine started forming the seed pods and it was great
to be able to read on the list just what I needed to do.  So now I have
seeds from my brugmansia and I wonder if it will survive another winter in
my greenhouse, and I'm anxious to see if they will germinate come spring as
I understand the seeds themselves are quite hard.  I too have a mock orange
in my yard and the fragrance reminds me of the leis in Hawaii.  I liked it
so much that I bought another one, Belisima.  No one has mentioned the
oriental lilies for fragrance.  I just love them because they are so
beautiful in flower and smell wonderful.
