| The other thread won't let me reply, and since I went to the trouble to actually take pics I thought I'd start a new thread to share! =)
'Chuck Hayes' gardenia blooms...amazingly, I thought this shrub was dead in the winter and transplanted it in late January just to see if it might spring back. It has with a vengeance...it seems to like less sun than my other gardenias:
Some late osmanthus blooms:
'Teddy Bear' magnolia grandiflora buds:
Forgot the name of this fragrant oriental lily:
Closeup:
'Frostproof' gardenia, which along with the 'Chuck Hayes' survived a harsh winter, including one night of 5oF:
My potted Persian lime, blooming intermittently now:
Wild blackroot in the woods, surprisingly sweet fragrance up close:
And not exactly white, but greenish-white; 'Athens' calycanthus blooms for probably the last time this season:
Hope you enjoy!...and please share your own fragrant blooms! |

| This is great. I am glad we are continuing on the fragrant whites.. Thank you, your blooms are beautiful. For me Gardenia survived 40s and couple of days of nightly 30s.. with no protection. I was thinking of the following also.. |

| mbuckmaster - I'd love to see a picture of the fully opened Teddy Bear. Also, how does it smell like? My 2 potted Osmanthus have been blooming on-off since Winter, I wonder if it's an ever-blooming plant. It does have a very pleasing fragrance. |

| Wow, beautiful blooms. I tend to forget about just how many wonderful plants are actually 'out there' as I live in zone 2 so am limited as to what I can grow. I have a lovely tall white plant, I believe it is Giant Soapwort, it is very hardy and very fragrant. |

| Teddy Bear has a lemony fragrance similar to the grandiflora species, but a little stronger, I think. I'll try and get some pics of the fully opened bloom soon. |
