My mother adored this plant and I remember as a little girl, she would hand me a flower and have me squeeze it in my hand and then smell my hand... the fragrance was delicious! I'd love to find one of these somewhere or a cutting or whatever it would be to have this nice plant in my yard...

any suggestions/help/resources?

Thanks!
God bless,
Janie

I use to put the bloom in my shirt pocket and smell it all day at school. I just posted today on the propagation forum as to how to root cuttings. I will send you one if I can get them rooted. I am going to try Larkie's method. I have two bushs and today I found where they had some babies coming up. I think these grow wild around these parts. Jim

Neat how a plant can trigger a wonderful childhood memory.

God bless,
Janie
