Neil, the most strongly scented plant in my garden is Agastache 'Apache Sunset'. Smells like rootbeer to me! Here is a picture of it with Echinacea 'Summer Sky': The picture was taken a couple of years ago, their mature size is fairly large, probably 3 1/2' tall by 3' wide, so it is best towards the back of the bed. I have plenty of seeds from last year. I could send you some when I send your sage and oregano seeds. Bonnie

While it appears to be a member of the Lamiaceae, I'm not totally convinced it is Lemon Balm. (Unless I am misconceiving the texture of the young growth.) I'd like to see the stems and preferably a picture of the whole of the parent plant.

It's certainly in the Mint family but being in the Lamiaceae is no indication that a plant is hardy. Plectranthus itself being a good example. As are Basil and Coleus. All tender plants. Having been grown indoors I imagine the habit of the OPs plant is rather atypical. Probably etiolated and softer foliage than it would be outdoors.

So pretty! I had to laugh at your comment, lyanna. People often do tune out on me when I start in on roses. Every once in a while, someone’s interested. Maybe they’re just being polite, I don’t know. Noseo, I adore your bobcat family photo! How amazing they must have been to see. It’s been many years since I’ve seen one around here, not since I was a child. Rosefolly, I always detect a wonderful scent from Annie Laurie McDowell, and I don’t have the best sniffer. I’m looking forward to planting out the ALMD that Kim budded for me onto Pink Clouds. I’m making sure my battle with Dr. Huey is over in her spot first. I think I may have gotten rid of him for good this time. I just want to be sure, as it will be so much harder once ALMD is there. I don’t want anything happening to that precious rose! By the way, I looked it up, and found that 10% of people actually like the scent of skunk! I guess I’m not the only one. Today, I’m smelling Baronne Prevost. She’s not quite as strong as my Bourbon roses, but still strong and wonderful. Lisa
