I would also offer to share, however, every time I have tried to dig up a native it has died on me. I know someone somewhere has been successful at this but I don't know what the secret is. I've tried Paw Paws, Carolina Jessamines, Walter's Viburnums and all died. The only thing I've been able to dig up and save are the Zephyr Lillies. I even tried air-layering and it didn't work. Not that I want to make money on it, but I know there are a lot of people who are very interested in natives that would like to have them, and we have thousands here.

Dorothy I will take you up on that offer. I actually have 3 plants of some type of Enonymous that I started from root cuttings a few years ago. I actually managed to get four to root fairly successfully but one died after going into the ground. Now it looks odd because, naturally, it wouldn't be one of the ones at the end that died and they were in a row. The three that are left look very healthy but are only a couple of feet tall. They only get morning sun and I suspect that is why they haven't grown much. The plant I took the cuttings from was about four feet tall, but I don't know how old it was or if it had been cut back. I have been considering moving these anyway, but I don't know if this one would grow tall enough to solve my problem. Since you know that yours get tall I will be happy to get them. Thanks. We can probably come down in a couple of weeks. Right now I am planting like mad. I don't know much about stem cuttings so this was just an experiment anyway. Now I am encouraged and would like to start some other things.

Are you talking about the yellow-flowered Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens)? It is a perennial vine that is cold hardy to zone 7, although a fairly new cultivar, "Margarita", is said to be reliably cold hardy to zone 6 and possibly even zone 5 in a protected microclimate. This vine likes its roots to be shaded and cool, so mulch the root zone well. It will grow and bloom in full sun to part shade and prefers very rich, fertile, somewhat acidic soil with lots of organic matter. It blooms heavily in the spring and the somewhat sporadically in summer and fall. Keeping it very well-watered results in more blooms. The double-flowered one, "Pride of Augusta" (aka "Plena") has a longer period of bloom than the standard single-flowered one. It has a moderate growth rate and usually is not invasive in zone 7. ALL PARTS of Carolina Jessamine are highly toxic, containing two strychnine-related alkaloids called gelsemine and gelseminine. This plant should never be consumed, by people or animals, in any shape, form or fashion. I also wouldn't put any part of this plant in a compost pile. There have been reported cases of children who have been poisoned when they sucked the nectar from the flowers, probably because they have mistaken the flowers for honeysuckle blossoms. I think it is a lovely vine but I don't grow it. Why? The nectar of the blossoms is toxic to honey bees and can result in brood death when gathered by the bees. To me, it is more important not to poison the bees as they are important pollinators. Dawn

A thread titled "Most Fragrants that Waft" began in March of 2000 as a request for a list of fragrant plants that "drift or waft on the air". After reaching the maximum 100 posts, the thread eventually expired due to inactivity. Not surprisingly, after the first post expired, the subject surfaced again in the post "Fragrants that Waft". The original post, "Most Fragrants that Waft", was saved and was kindly provided by yeona_sky. The following list was compiled by Clare_CA from the original "Most Fragrants that Waft" and the later post "Fragrants that Waft".
