What! June already. How did that happen??
Ugh, it's going to be raining the next few days and so many of my flowers will get beaten down:( Oh well...can't complain as our spring has been wonderful thus far

Petunia 'Daddy Blue' still pumping out its sweet vanilla like scent and the flowers are gorgeous as well! :)

jasminum multipartitum is in a full bloom now

Wait, what!? Did you say vanilla? Thats very interesting Robert. I must hunt that petunia down.

Penang Peach first blooms of the year look ho hum. They will get much better looking in the heat of July and August.

Ha! Yup. Vanilla to my nose. I ordered an Aztec Gold plumie that should be arriving soon. I remember you loving its peach scent so I figured why not? Of course when it gets huge I'll be changing my tune. ;)

Radermachera kunming (tree jasmine) is starting to bloom. It has a light cologne like scent? Difficult to describe but it's one tough plant that can take little water and light over the winter down in the basement and still come out like a champ. It has beautiful shiny leaves and responds well to pruning.

Robert, How big is your Radermachera kunming plant? I bought one last week locally and it's 1ft tall with lot of buds. Waiting for it to bloom, does the fragrance waft?

Ours is a little over 3ft tall now. It was taller last year but I cut it back. I bought it as a small starter plant off ebay years ago. The scent has never wafted much for me. I always have to put my nose to the blooms. I've almost gotten rid of it several times but my partner loves it. It is a very attractive plant. :)

First bloom on Mele Pa Bowman. Scent is very good and very much like Singapore: a fresh lemony scent.

A few June bloomers...just brought them in from outside to enjoy. A Milt. Andrea West, a noid oncidium, and a Zygo. Adelaide Meadows.

First bloom of Ipomoea alba (moonflower).

So far just a light soapy scent.

Late peony: 'Glory Hallelujah'. Very strong sharp fragrance that really fills the room

'Radiant Perfume' - this is the yellowest rose I've seen (can't seem to capture rich colour with my iphone though). Citrusy fragrance

Beautiful, Maggie! A lot of peonies have a scent similar to sesame oil to my nose...or maybe my nose is just weird. ;)

Chloranthus spicatus was really wafting around the backyard on this sunny hot afternoon. Could be smelled several feet away from the plant.

ROBERT! I can't wait for my chloranthus to bloom!!!! Thanks to you! hehe

I've got my eye out for one. One of the Chinese nurseries used to sell this but haven't seen it recently:(

Regarding chloranthus, I'm one of those people that can't seem to smell it. I tried all times of the day. Moving it to sun from shade. Still scentless to me.

On the other hand I think I discovered the so-called tea scent on a noid rose today. It smells exactly like a black tea bag. Who would've thought tea-scented actually means what it means after being so used to those often fruity hybrid teas.

I ddn't even notice my first magnolia grandiflora ('St Mary') had bloomed - it's already yellowing in the centre. Anyway, still magnificent.

Here's a little friend to provide perspective of how huge it is

Wowzers! That's huge! Bet it still smelled good. :)

When our Cestrum nocturnum trained as a standard blooms in mass (probably tomorrow or Saturday) it's gonna be truly nauseating. We've already had one branch bloom and the scent was super strong.

The single version of Jasminum grandiflorum finally has some blooms. For some reason for me I got more blooms on the double version but its blooms never fully opened. Hoping the single will eventually start pumping out lots of blooms since I love the scent.

Haemanthus humilis hirsutus smells very fresh. Sorry my pics may be sideways: phone posts.

Lilium washingtonianum, seed grown from wcs.

My first posoqueria flowers! They smell very much like Rhododendron konori.

Here are 2 summer-blooming azaleas with scents I'm very pleased with. I took out another one that was not to my liking (I find most azalea scents too musky, even a bit skunky). These two are quite sweetly fragrant.

'Weston's Innocence'

'Pink and Sweet'

Michelia skinnerianna

Michelia alba...wish this baby will grow more leaves...I want it strong!

Wrightia vietnamensis-smells pretty much just like murraya paniculata...which honestly...doesn't smell bad, but doesn't smell "sweet" and absolutely wonderful either- that really "dry" scent, not fruity, not sweet, not cloying.

Belle of India!

Gardenia Frostproof- love the gardenia scent, but this variety isn't the most fragrant.

Thanks so much for the Wrightia vietnamensis scent description, Ruby! I've been curious about its scent and now I'll think twice since I find the generic floral scent of murraya just meh. Laugh.

The lilies are starting to bloom. My fav is still 'Satisfaction' since it's not too strong but not too weak.

Clockwise from left- Silk Road (knocked an unopened bud off last night while I was staking it since it was flopping onto the sidewalk and the bloom opened today and I could smell it when I came home tonight), Satisfaction, unkown (bought it at Wal-Mart and lost the tag and Casa Blanca.

Haha Robert, you are exactly right...I didn't want to offend anyone with the "meh" murraya scent since so many people LOVE that baby. It is not bad smelling, but not to be obsessed over. Since murraya paniculata blooms for a longer period of time...if you have a murraya, don't recommend a wrightia vietamensis unless you like the look of it (which, really is VERY pretty, grows into a bonsai shape without me even trying---which is VERY important cuz I don't know how haha). So many internet site describes the scent as "honey" which to me means sweet floral since honey really don't have a SCENT!!! It just taste sweet....haha

Here's is 'Miss Lucy'. Never looks like the catalog photos for me but the scent last for up to four weeks because the petals don't develop at once.

Magnolia coco, very strong scent but a bit harsh up close.

My First ever Rose. Also a very fragrant one at that. It's Called Red Masterpiece.

Congrats on your gorgeous rose, Ivan! You'll probably discover you'll quickly have more than one rose. :)

Brugmansia 'Butterfly' finally bloomed. Strong fresh powdery scent? First pic is the bloom starting to open last night. Second pic is this morning after it colored up.

hey guys!! Nice june you're having I see!! I missed a lot of blooms due to work but today I managed to get a few pics of my orchids at least

nice scent on this hybrid dendrobium

encyclia fragrans (kind of vanilla)

galeandra baueri (still light as it has been open for a day or so, will update)

Jasmine molle here. Its kind of like the scent of J. grandiflorum flora plena.

Aglaia odorata is having a nice flush.

Robert, hello! It's amazing how much ahead you are in growing anything..Mine are just setting buds..And your plants as suaul are amazing..I always look forward to seeing what offerings you have))
Everyone just amazing..Maybe I should post some pics soon since there is always something blooming for us each month..I don't think any of us can go a month without something smelling good..Ha

Question? How do you keep your Cestrum nocturnum growing so well?? I can't keep one alive if you paid me..I have tried three times and would be willing to try again with proper advice..Thank you...Yours is huge too.

Fenius..Wow as usual..I have never seen that last plant you posted...Always something new with you.
That Encylia almost smells like Vanilla Wedding Frosting to me..It waffs the entire yard for me..One of my Faves..
Mines is in full bloom right now.
Robert, HOW IN THE WORLD do you get your Brugs too bloom so early!!!? Mine are not even in bud at all...I am so jealous

Khandi, where did you buy your Radermachera kunming plant? I would love to get one of those... THanks

Nice pics everyone!

brunfelsia austarlis

jasminum x stephanense

gardenia veitchii

trachelosperumu asiaticum

adenium obesum

nerium oleander

Beautiful Misha..Here are a few of mine

a couple more

Wow, it keeps getting better and better!! Well done guys! Mikerno what is that orchid after the alysum? The galeandra baueri doesn't have a great scent after all...Oh, well at least it's pretty.

Misha, does your jasminum stephanense flower a lot? Because I don't know if it's my plant, me, our climate or what...I get very few blooms yet it grows huge..

Mike and Misha!! Glad to see you all back. Mmmm, I can just imagine the smell of your garden.

Oh Mike, I miss the smell of the Almond Verbena, your pic is making me wanting to get another one.

Hey all amazing photos everyone :) not been able to get on for a while but i now have a fractured wrist! :( so thought i would take the time to post a few photos a little lie though as some are from last month :P

magnolia × wieseneri this really does have a beautiful fragrance

Excellent for evening and night fragrance

unnamed Miltonia

Cattleya Green Emerald 'Queen' beautiful and very fragrant

Zenobia spicy fragrance but not that strong to me

Calycanthus Athens sweet kind of fragrance reminds me a bit of apples

The always reliable Michelia figo with its powerful scent

second form with smaller darker flowers

my lavanda tuberosa is also flowering for the first time :)

I also have my new find for this year Impatiens tinctoria evening scented :)

and it turns out my Artabotrys hexapetalus is actually
Artabotrys siamensis :(

Daphne Eternal Fragrance first blooms for me.

The scent is complex its like a mix of French jasmines and oriental lilies. But that may not be accurate.

Jasmine Grand Duke of Tuscany

Jasmine 'Flore Plena' from Logee's

'Prince Promise' withering away now. I love the scent of easter lilies but this oriental/longiflorum lily hybrid has an twist. Perhaps like composite of both but it is definitely lighter than either type but more pronounced at night.

Now just waiting on the Casa Blancas this year.

'Eugene de Beauharnais' has quite a lovely scent and is very well suited for containers.

And a Meiwa kumquat. Very light and refreshing sort of like Aglaia odorata.

Hey, guys! here's the latest arrival, brassavola "david sanders" incredible lemon soapy scent only at night

Magnolia

white wisteria - very fragrant

mysore malle

tree jasmine variety

jasmine nitidum

jasmine arabian nights

Thai jasmine - prolific bloomer. These are all currently blooming for me.

Lc. tropical pointer 'Cheetah"
Sweet rose + fruit punch + a little bit of soap scent. Beautiful, but must stick nose in to smell.
