Yes, very good tip Virginian! I finally was able to find some Milorganite at Home Depot. Yaayy!! I will now be able to give that a try. Hopefully it will spur some growth on my Basjoos. They are only about 8 inches and have probably only grown about 3 inches since I got them a couple months ago! They are still in pots, but everything is now ready for me to put them into their permanent home in the ground.

Flower: I forgot to mention the sweet Olive.... it is the best I just love it, I go out on my patio and front porch and have to smell it every time.. it is the most beautiful sweet scent of apricots, I have 4 that are blooming right now and it's so different from any other plant I ever smelled, I ordered a synthetic oil on ebay and put it all over my house on flat cotton wipes, I even put it in the vents of my heater, it is really nice. I have 4 michelia figos that all have buds on them, they smell like very sweet ripe bananas. I also love the smell of honeysuckle, I bought a couple six packs of ground cover honeysuckle and planted them in hanging pots near my patio door, I think it will be a wonderful waft when they all come into bloom. I can hardly wait to smell them, this is my first season with all my fragrant plants. If your just getting started on fragrant plants be careful it's very very addicting but fun!!!! My other most favorite is brugmansia (Angel Trumpet), they are absolutely THE BEST! The differnt colors vary in fragrance, some smell a strong honey vanilla, others smell like a sweet lemony citrus, and another smells like a white flower scent like jasmine with the honey also. They are wonderful only smell at night, I have about 7 now and growing more, the ones by my front door smell my whole living room up when the door is open on a warm evening. So..... enjoy!!!!!! P.S. brugmansia's are very easy to root from a cutting....just stick it in water for a few weeks and stick it in the ground, they grow like weeds.

Hi Know this is a very old post but was recently looking around for Plumeria that is evergreen and the flower is not white. Went to a special nursery was blown away by the variety !! 30 different growth habits , 25 fragrances , 15 choices among the evergreens .If that isn't enough they can custom graft to the habit color and fragrance you choose lol In my years of gardening I've always got cuttings from neighbors so have never bought one . Had no idea there was so much choice !! While i love plumeria hate the habits, get gigantic naked all winter while I found evergreen thought they only came in white and mine is only fragrant at night . While they were expensive settled for a dwarf in a soft yellow with an apricot aroma . Has not flowered as yet but still has leaves and a beautiful "weeping" habit ,supposedly will stay under 6 feet. Was tempted by the custom grafts but a bit out of my budget!! lol I always thought only roses had lots of choices !! gary

Do any of you that are smelling the coconut mystery smell have fig trees? I have been in the same situation, trying to figure out where that Delicious coconut smell was coming from. It took me what seemed like forever, (a couple of years,) to finally figure it out. I can't remember if someone told me or if I just kept googling it until I found something but I finally figured it out. It's my fig tree! I hope this can help y'all! http://perfumenw.blogspot.com/2012/10/dried-fig-leaves.html?m=1 Cassandra in Alabama
