Well, everyone here obviously enjoys fragrance in their garden. Should anyone be interested, I have seeds available for SASA & SASBE, all fragrants from my own garden. Dmail me for mailing particulars should you be interested in growing these wonderful plants/vines/trees:

Artabotrys Hexapetalus - known as a vine but mine are all more of the shrub type, very easily trimmed and wonderfully responsive to air-layering.
Brunfelsia Nitida - shrub. Night fragrance of cloves. All the Brunfelsias air-layer very well.
Brunfelsia Americana - shrub. Night fragrance of cloves. Grows taller than B. Nitida I have found
Brunfelsia Surprise. - shrubs. I inadvertently mixed some B. seeds together! They could be: B. Americana, B. Gigantea and B. Lactea.
Cestrum Diurnum - tree. Fragrance of milk chocolate. Butterfly nectar.
Cananga Odorata - Ylang Ylang tree. Source of Chanel #5 perfume. 2nd attempt at airlayering this tree. 5 weeks to go till I see if roots have formed!
Passiflora 'Inspirations' - vine.
Telosma Cordata - vine. Frag a mix of roses & violets
