Highly-Fragrant Plants--let's list our favorites!
Comments (52)My faves...... *Nicotiana alata (common evening flowering white) *Datura inoxia *Matthiola incana (started blooming in 90+ degree temps!) *Clarkia elegans (Clarkia amoena does not have a fragrance) *Lilac *Blue Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana).....Native to Eastern WA. I'm scoping out seeds around the corner from me...empty lot. It's a matter of getting them before the birds do though LOL! They are still in flower and smells soooo heavenly :O *Common Milkweed (give it it's own area!) I've been yanking out runners this year 15' away from the mother plant...runners didn't start until year 4! *Phlox paniculata As far as foul smelling: *Pelargonium x hortorum *Ginkgo biloba....steer clear of females; their fruit are extremely foul smelling!! *Ligustrum obtusifolium (Privet) *Juniper (I think it smells of cat urine) Of course most herbs, however there is no smell until leaves or flowers(of some) are crushed,rubbed, etc. Some people think Catmint smells like cat urine. Not sure which Nepeta they have, but mine sure smells much more pleasant than that LOL!...See MoreJB's prefer some roses over others
Comments (11)Jim for me its my rosa rogosas first, they always attack them first and most. I have a first year plant robusto rose which is a glossy kordes, they seem to like that as well. But they do eat anything, the really like my corn stalks and potatoe plants and bean plants all the rest of my flowers (except lillium and hermocallis and hostas). Also seem to enjoy rasberry and blackberry foliage but seem to leave the fruit only, which is ok by me. ITs been a lighter year than normal here, just picked off a few dozen yesterday, nothing like the hundreds some years....See MoreARS 2010 August /September Rose Show Winners

Comments (44)More fun posts everyone! Mustbnuts, the fart shoes are a HOOT (or is that, toot?) My garden clogs are closed in, so I suspect any foot farts they would produce would be the "silent but deadly" type, i.e. don't get your nose near my feet till I've had a chance to shower. Thanks for the extra tips on the pumice stones and places to access them, Nessdrizzle & Diane. I also wondered what fehttp was when I first read this (love the laugh though) - I kind of wondered if this was a substance produced by the fart shoes, and in fact it's surprisingly like the sounds they must produce. Diane, permaliverspots would definitely qualify in this competition, as long as (ahem) we see PICTURES. I fear that we've been all talk and just shooting the breeze, which if we're wearing fart shoes is doubly frightening (just see what you've gotten us into with your tales, mustbnuts!) Show me the spots, show me the shoes (sound effects optional). Jim and Rebecca aren't the only brave ones in this crowd! And yes Diane, I should follow my own advice and show you the garden pictures as you suggest, but I'll start a new thread for that. I keep waiting for things to get really impressive since I had so much surviving cane over the winter, but the spring flush has been so spread out it's not that impressive in any one spot. I don't really have acres - I'll bet the entire land is no more than one acre and that includes the house. Remember I'm in zone 5 though, and things stay small here... Cynthia...See Morebethnorcal9
