Aha!  So that's what I did wrong!  I swear the seed description said 
sylvestris was fragrant, and I was soooo disappointed.  I wasn't really 
impressed with the flowers, either.  They're interesting, certainly, but 
there's so much more stem than flower, and they like to flop, and attract 
some sort of little black bugs...Some of them did, however, winter over, and 
they spread quite a bit of seed.

Thanks for the correction, Claire.  Now I won't feel guilty pulling them up 
to plant the alata!

Oh, and I'm so excited, I wanted to share with ya'll, I now am the proud 
owner of a huge hole in my back yard (and corresponding mountain of dirt!) 
where my water garden is going.  Empty, it looks a whole lot bigger than I 
expected.  For those of you that looked at our wedding site pictures, it's 
going behind the rock wall.  I'll post more pictures when it's done.
