The most "wafting" fragrant plants I grow are Philadelphus, Honeysuckle and "Erlicheer" jonquils, but I'm planning to add more scented plants, so thanks for the suggestions. At least some of them should be able to grow here, although our winters are cooler than yours.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627975259420138572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-64781734299291909012012-05-19T04:19:43.087-04:002012-05-19T04:19:43.087-04:00Hey this is really so nice post i am so inspired h...Hey this is really so nice post i am so inspired here could you more share here i will be back to you as soon as possible.<br />Thanks for sharing...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gardencentreguide.ie/" rel="nofollow">Garden Centre</a>Garden Centrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403033837670582262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-14786205745379557722012-05-17T21:48:28.719-04:002012-05-17T21:48:28.719-04:00I've long had a dream of having a fragrant gar...I've long had a dream of having a fragrant garden outside my bedroom so that the lovely perfume of fragrant flowers would waft in through open windows during the night. But so far my attempts at enacting this dream have failed. Reading your list of plants made me realize one of my big mistakes: I need to focus on night-blooming flowers! (Duh!).

I have a large Jasmine that is potted in my office and I just love that fragrance. I agree, a garden of fragrance cannot be beat. Lilac is filling the air here, and like you, know it is will only be here a short time, but other fragrant bloomers wait in the wings. The lily is not a fav of mine though. I cannot cut them for the house because the fragrance is overwhelming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-24460004754723265022012-05-08T23:42:29.289-04:002012-05-08T23:42:29.289-04:00thank you for the nursery recommendations!
