I wondering if you have any Clematis this year. If so email and I will trade or send SASBE if you have more. Thank you for your kindness. sable0162@att.net

Butterfly, thanks for the detailed info. If it can be maintained under 3-4", I can live with it. I am going to check that nursary again in the fall when the plants are on sale. Freki, Marquest, excellent choices. Plant some annual in between might be another solution. Frankly, among all the fragant blooming plants, annuals, preannual, shrubs, trees, the longest lasting fragrant and wafted plant I have is the old fashion petunia. It blooms none stop ever since it started . Boy, I love its sweet scent!. In spring time, I have tons of fragrant flowers blooming. lilac, mock orange, sweet william, flowers from various bulbs, iris, etc. which last till sometime in June. after that,there aren't many fragrant in the air. I try to fill the gaps. Butterfly bush zoned to grow in 5 but in reality does not grow/flower reliablbly here. I planted summersweet this spring. it started to bloom in mid-later July. It is done blooming now. Its scent is not as strong and waft as I thought it would be. It may due to its first year, the root system has not fully established yet. Do you have summersweet grow in your yard? What is your comment on this plant? I did bought a clematis few weeks ago, Sweet Autum. It is supposed to bloom around late Aug to Sept. But it is stilll in container, has not been planted in the ground yet. Does anyone know if there is a fragant trumpet vine that grow in zone 5? My neighbot has one with very showy salmon/orange flowers,beautiful leaves, but has no scent. I thought knock-out roses are not scented? How strong is the scent? If you get one, please post some commets on its scent.

The straight species is by far the best one I know. Ours came from hips taken from an old (1930's) local garden. It is very easy to grow from seed - just put them in the ground. I don't know of any species selections made for fragrance, but they must have occurred.

I grow it on a wood mount. I've had it about 3 years. It was in a small plastic basket which I tied to the wood mount. I've only gotten one growth each year. Not sure if this orchid can produce more than one each year. I know other varieties will make two growths, so I'm hoping it will. The older growths do not produce growths nor flowers. Only the newest growth. Jane
