Deb, I am really thinking about a tea olive. From what I understand, they are very fragrant. I try to plant things that attract hummingbirds, buttterflies & bees. I am considering some confederate or star jasmine to climb a couple of the post in the front of the house to give a greener look. Also, I want some society garlic, day lillies and agapanthis (sp). A butterfly bush would be nice in the back along with a crepe myrtle. I had a gorgeous butterfly bush in VA right next to my clothes line. It was about 8 feet tall and I could smell it when I was hanging out clothes. I had so many beautiful butterflies. My granddaughter and I use to raise black swallowtails with parsley and monarchs with milkweed. I want some knockout roses too. So far I have very basic landscaping with the beds ready for planting. It just got too expensive to put a lot of plants in after we had to have sod put in the yard. This is a good size yard with alot of sun and Georgia heat and humidity. So I am open to all suggestions. Here is a picture of my planter on the back porch. So far it hasn't been cold enough to have to move it.
