This bloom is finally opening today and has a delicate but wonderful scent.
Breathe deep & tell us what smells wonderful in your garden
Up close, the Callisia fragrans bloom.
The Hoyas always smell wonderful in bloom.
Hoya Lacunosa - not outside but in.....ahhhhh amazing scent!!!
Ya'll have seen this one already but here's Kleim's Hardy Gardenia...this is one of 3 that are known to be hardy to our zone. Simple blooms...but just as fragrant.
Maid of Orleans...such little bloom...pack such a punch....
To throw a little color in here (LOL) - the lavenders all starting to bloom
Nothing right now and it's annoying me!!!!
Sorry Flowerjen, it shouldn't be long for you now.
Chantell, glad you posted the "color". I was thinking only white blooms smelled good!
Confederate Jasmine still in bloom with fragrant daylilies... Both are winding down sadly.
Funny think is - it DOES seem to be the whites of so many that have the most intense fragrance....took me years to figure that out and understand that I could for-go color EVERYWHERE in trade for wonderful scents!!! Dmail me and let me know how the family situation is going...was thinking about you the other day.
My plumeria is blooming.....delicious scent.
astcgirl-love that plumeria!
Hummm....brugs are delish!
Ahhh how pretty both plumie and brugs
My newly spring planted Mr. Lincoln rose has it's first bloom.
Corinthian ~ first blooms are wonderful! (even if they aren't fragrant for me) Doesn't matter if it is the first of the season or the first ever... What color is your rose?
Chatell...I have never seen a Hoya! Tell me about it! Is it a vine?
Yes they're vines....seems with the Hoyas I have - the bloom is either pretty or nicely scented....not sure I have any with both. Here's Bella my favorite to photograph (this is ONE of her cluster like the one I posted above)
Here's a web page - she has MANY photos of the hoyas she owns: http://www.myhoyas.com/hoya%20album%20A.htm

Sweet Almond Verbena, Oh my does this wonderful scent carry all over the yard! This is my favorite fragrant plant!
Cestrum diurnum, It has a light Coco scent that seems to get stronger the hotter and more humid it gets.
I can forget the Brugmansia...
And the Daturas
I got this from Glen at FSG but lost the tag along the way. It has a light fragrance of lilys.

Scentimental Rose
Climbing Fourth of July Rose
I don't know if this is Podranea or Pandorea vine but it has a light fragrance like cotton candy, very sweet.

Heavinscent- is that a coco as in chocolate scent or coco chanel scent???
Its chocolate scented :o)
Chantell, after I posted I realized there is a whole forum dedicated to Hoyas! It's so strange I have never seen one! Very pretty!
LOL - ohhh I still find new forums "here" that I didn't know were around....Hoyas are an extremely easy plant to grow!!!
oooo, yum!!!
Beware the Hoya addict, they will snag you!!! LOL
Heavenscent ~ may I ask, what it that lovely bloom "from Glen at FSG"? Showing my ignorance here... 8 )
I'm sorry, Its a trailing Verbena of some kind.
Suuuusssannnn.....you simply can't say things like that - we up north are rarely SURROUNDED by gardenias....not fair, I tell you!
Hugs,
Chantell
