Beautiful Hymenocallis liriosme! Maybe I should try one since they're native to Oklahoma? :)

I'd say give it a go.

It's doing pretty great for me. The flowers don't last very long.

Ordphien, you are definitely loosing it like me..I thought all day was Friday yesterday..I almost forgot to show up for work today..lol Yes, you should of been in the pic too with your boyfriend...I think you would of made a nice pic with the two of you under that most beautiful tree....Beautiful flowers by the way!

Are those in water? I never heard of a spider lilly!

But I had to take the photo.

He was there for size reference. Against his will lol.

They are in water! It's a really great no fuss plant for me.

Ah... September already.Here's a pic of celadine, gorgeous but the scent is very slight.

Thanks for the description on the scent Ordphien, I like the scent of spider lilies, but now I know what angel trumps generally smell like.

Ctgarde, the scent on plumerias tend to be light for me too. But en masse, the scent can waft and hit you from several feet away, especially on a hot and humid day.

Mandavilla laxa.

My posoqueria is about to open again: excited!

I'm not sure if this counts because it's so small, most people wouldn't smell anything... But it does have a little sweet fragrance: Asperula gussonii. The foliage is redolent of cut grass and the flowers are similar to Galium, to which it is related.

Ugh. I'm jealous of your Mandavilla laxa. I've killed two or three so far. Do you like its scent? Can you compare it to anything?

Also curious about the scent of your posoqueria. I believe Logee's describes it as unique.

The Mandavilla just smells a bit like a light Aurelian lily: mostly sweet and just a little spice but you have to put your nose right up to it for a smell. Mine grows up some tall lilies and opens after the lilies are done. I don't know if it will make it through the worst of our winters and I've got to propagate it before fall comes this year...

The Posoqueria on the other hand is much more bold and in your face even when it's not. It smells almost exactly like Rhododendrons in the konori/leucogigas complex (which are also not common in cultivation but it's the only smell that comes close).

murraya paniculata

Gorgeous.

James, how is nodesa scent? I've been curious but the term nail polish comes up pretty often.

Macranthos, I love those flowers. The asperella is so cute!

This is a noid. Light fragrance though. Bubblegum? Honey? I don't know. It's not very distinct.

Misha, what a lovely shrub. I can't say I've ever smelled a large specimen of murraya, and masses of flowers certainly change the volume of scent. Is it very strong? I always think of murraya as gangly and messy: yours looks clean and relatively compact. Your thoughts?

ordphien, it's a hard scent to describe. It's not a sweet flowery scent maybe kind of a spicey scent. Not like nail polish tho.

My little Seven Sons tree (heptacodium miconioides) is blooming despite being neglected all summer. Not sure how to describe scent though some have likened it to jasmine

Lovely surprise - osmanthus aurantiacus is in bud quite early no doubt due to hot summer. Last year it was well into Oct.

Thank you, Macranthos. Yes, with masses of flowers the scent wafts around. Especially on a hot and humid air. Murraya reacts well on pruning so it's easy to achieve a good shape.

The Sombreuil rose is starting to rebloom along with more Brunfelsia gigantea blooms.

Guess I need to pay more attention to the garden!

Isn't it nice to see roses at this time of year? It's like a little farewell to summer hurrah.
Here is my Spirit of Freedom with more blooms than any other rose in the garden despite being the most neglected (it's outside the back gate)

My daughter stepped ouside & said, what's that nice peach smell, and I knew the osmanthus buds had opened. I think my top three for strongest wafting scent is m. alba, gardenia and osmanthus. This delicious apricot fragrance is just lovely

Ps. That asperula is so cute - I want one!

Ugh. Your Osmanthus fragrans aurantiacus is gorgeous, Maggie! I wanted to buy 'Apricot Echo' from Almost Eden but they're sold out so of course I moved on to a ridiculous fragrant tropical from Zone 9 Tropicals (Fagraea ceilanica). Who knows if I can keep it alive and if it will ever bloom for me.

Oh, well. I did enjoy the delightful wafting scent of Aglaia odorata today under the arbor at lunch while walking the dog. :)

Thanks Robert! I love this plant so much. And it's not finicky either.

I am thinking of ordering some stuff from Flora Exotica, including Magnolia coco. That thread raving about the scent won me over. I saw some aglaias in an Asian nursery years ago, didn't buy, and now I want one, haha. So I refuse to order online and keep hoping to see it in some obscure nursery

Maggie I love fluffy double roses and that one is so lovely.

Below is King of Siam water lily and Yves Piaget rose.

My goodness, every one! I thinks it's time for me to post a few later..I LOVE LOVE that Osmanthus Maggie

..How did you do it way up their in Canada...? Is it the cold that triggered it to bloom so much? Do you keep yours in full sun? Amazing along with every one elses!

Maggie, wher can I get a Seven Sons Tree? I have skowered the internet and it does not seem to be a tree for sale...Thanks a bunch!

Mike, Dave's list several sources for it including Pepper's Greenhouses (Accents).

I'm in a nice mild part of Canada. The coldest it gets is around -10C, but only on rare occasions. Usually we just get rain.

I have a few osmanthus and they are hardy to Zone 7. They have such different blooming habits. Decorus and delavayi are only a slightly fragrant and do not take well to pruning so very few blooms for me. Thunbergii is supposed to have a great fragrance, but I've had one since 1998 and it's never bloomed despite reaching small tree size. 'Nanjing Beauty' is also flowering right now; not as richly scented as aurantiacus but has a nice fragrance and blooms at a very young age. I've had aurantiacus since 2008 and it bloomed for the first time last year. Mine is against an east facing wall as I try to give osmanthus as much sun as I can.

I got the Seven Sons tree from Fraser's Thimble Farms. It's a Canadian nursery but they ship to the US with extra charges for a phyto certificate. This plant is bullet proof.

Brugmansia 'Pink Dragon' is pumping out some spicy sweet blooms.

Beautiful. So tempting. Only the prospect of managing brugs thru the winter is too daunting

Xena is also blooming. The yard smells amazing in the evenings and early mornings. :)

It's been a magical scent day in the garden. The Chinese Perfume Plant has been wafting like mad and my crappy tiny sweet olive that I've threatened to toss dozens of times is starting to bloom and smells divine.

I have several blooms right now. First off is my GDTS jasmine. I think this was mislabeled. I actually got 3 from the seller and I am pretty sure it's just GDT but the flower is nicely scented and it measured an inch wide.Some of you know that I am obsessed with plumeria. This plumeria was sold to me as California Sunset. Its a pretty common but still a great variety. It produces to huge inflos but when the flower buds opened, I knew I had something else. Turns out its a Napoli which would have cost me $70! Fragrance is strong and floral. I love the yellow center!I know I posted about this all ready but I can't help myself! I have never been so excited about a fragrant tree/bush before! This is Magnolia coco.I read somewhere that it's name was changed from Michelia coco. This tree really tested my patients. I only had one bud that matured and opened. It took 2 1/2 months for the bud to fully mature! I couldn't believe it! At one point I was convinced it was just going to abort but finally it started opening around 5 pm. The scent was incredible! I found figo last spring and I do love the juicy fruit scented flowers. I bought alba this summer but it died on me. The coco far exceeded my expectations. Scent is highly subjective. To me it smelled strongly of Pina Colada. For all of you that like flowers with a wafting fragrance, this is a great addition to your collection. This one flower scented my entire living room! The only draw back is that just like figo, the flower only lasted a day. I was really bummed to see it drop. A friend of mine who has one told me that his had around 20 buds. I cannot wait for mine to be large enough to produce that many buds!

Robert, I love your passion flower vine! This is the first year for me to enjoy these flowers. I bought a variety that is known for its fruits more than its flowers but the flowers are still pretty...well from what I have seen online in pictures. The variety I got is called ' Purple Possum'. I love passion fruit and I'm hoping that these fruits taste as good as what I had in Puerto Rico. Can you tell me how long it takes for the buds to mature and bloom? I really didn't think mine was going to bloom but about a week ago while tying up the vines, I found around 20 dime sized flower buds. A few were nickel sized. Today we had a bad storm it fell over half a dozen times. I hope the buds are still ok. I will be putting it unset my HPS light pretty soon. I hope the fruits don't take a long time to mature.

Spiranthes odorata is starting.

Carissa macrocarpa. Sorry I missed peak flower photographability.

Brugmansia something I forget the name of...

Posoqueria longiflora opened a bit. Still lots more buds.

The real showstopper is the Brunfelsia lactea.

This plumeria has been blooming since April.

The salvias have their own fragrance...

And this one doesn't smell: I just like it (as do the hummingbirds). Manettia cordifolia.

Marcanthos..Is that Brunfelsia inside in a sunny window? It looks absolutely amazing as so all your other plants..Thank you. I think I will try a Needle Plant once I get to Logee's again) Is the fragrance strong?

Andrew, the hybrid I grow is sterile. I don't grow them for fruit. Maybe someone on the Passiflora forum can help?

The Ipomoea alba has been blooming like mad. I love sticking my nose into the blooms as they're opening.

Ugh. Now I really want a Ladies' tresses orchid. :)

Mikerno: the Brunfelsia gets rolled out onto the deck during the days reliably above 40 unless it's blooming (which seems to happen in May and September) and then in the sunroom it goes so we can enjoy it for a month. It gets full blasting sun and reflected heat on the deck for several months each year and bright sw facing light in the sunroom.

The Posoqueria fragrance is strong but it doesn't fill the room. This might change when hundreds of flowers are open on it in 5 years but it's still little for me (only had it 2 years). It's bloomed twice this year which is sort of amazing for a plant that was just a single Y this spring.

Finally took a worthwhile picture of mandavilla.

And supposedly this thing is fragrant (maybe only at night?) but it was too far out to smell it. Victoria amazonica at Hughes Water Gardens nearby.

And Robert those are some great Ipomoeas. Love the crinkles.

Beautiful pics, Mac.

I gave up on Brunfelsia lactea since it didn't bloom enough for me. I suppose gigantea is the same but since I adore its scent I'll put up with it. ;)

Found a pot of all double stocks (Matthiola incana) at a nursery (normally you find a mixture of doubles and singles in a pot). I've been enjoying their spicy scent especially at night.

I also picked up a Patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin).

I had fun having some friends rub the leaves and try to guess what it is. One said it smelled like cologne.

Great photos guys! I enjoyed them all.

Jasminum sambac 'Grand Duke Supreme' throwing out some mutant fused flower heads.

Wow! Crazy looking. My grand duke barely blooms. I'm not taking great care of it though.

I have an exciting opportunity in my yard. I think I'll make a separate thread for it. I'd love to hear your guys suggestions.
