...ok, now....how about IN the ground....what's growing together that's making music to your nose?
I've got:
*Stephan's Jasmine (thank you, Becky) behind a trellis with 'Mystery' Gardenia in front.
*Kleim's Hardy Gardenia - w/a pot of tuberose clusters (thanks to my sis) in front
*Daphne with Butterfly Ginger - evening stock - dwarf gardenia (I'll give it one more try in the partial shade THIS time though), Lillys of the Valley and Violas in an area beneath my dwarf tree.
*Back yard on trellis - Passis (Incense and Maypop) - a spicy vining petunia and white hyacinth bean vine.....

Scent Combinations II IN the ground....
No body? Ahhh come on now...was hoping to steal others ideas for my own yard.
LOL! I'll be watching for ideas too!
I've made an attempt to grow a fragrant garden right outside my master bedroom so that when I open the sliding door I smell beautiful things. I've got a few kinds of lavender, Mandevilla laxa, Jasminum nitidum, Cestrum nocturnum, Osmanthus fragrans, and Buddleja asiatica. Between the gophers and a super unusually cold snap in winter '06 and the fact that all the shrubs started off pretty small and are taking a couple years to get going, I really haven't been able to enjoy much besides the Buddleja so far. But in theory it should be very nice someday!
Sounds like it will be a nice combination ecrane!
