Wow, what a beautiful SAC. Mine is just starting to produce buds so it will be another 2 weeks before it starts to bloom. I just love mine also. It is so nice to have something fresh and new blooming in the fall. Mine doesn't have much fragrance. Does yours?

Its close to being in full bloom and it does have a scent when I walk by it but not real strong. Wish it bloomed in the spring also but still love it!!! So does our yellow lab! She loves the birds it attracks!! She cought 2 birds so far this year!! We saved one but the other bird was not so lucky.. I have a newer SA out in our front yard and that one is still small yet. They grow fast so I am sure yours will be doing the same..

Happy gardening, caroline

Beautiful. I lost my 1st scented one. The one I replaced it with last year is now in bloom, but I can't detect any scent. I'll keep my fingers crossed...maybe later or next year. I bought it because of the scent as much as for the fact that I like the late blooms when other things are finished.
