| Hello fellow fragrant plant addicts, here is a new plant for you to try:
Heptacodium miconioides or Seven Sons Flower
I ran into this plant at my local nursery. The pleasantly floral scented flowers are covered with bees. Very fragrant! :) |

| You're terrible, Kemistry! And I'm shocked you didn't one up...or did you? ;) I like that it feeds the critters and our noses! -Robert |

| Hey Robert, no I didn't get it; I don't have room for one at the moment. I was thinking of you when I saw this plant because it's a bee and butterfly magnet! ;) This plant seems to be pretty hardy, up to z5, maybe you can grow it in the ground if there's room for it. (hehe) I think it smells sorta like a honeysuckle (though not as sweet and pretty as the Japanese Honeysuckle) |

| oooh, kemistry, evil.... tempt me into another must have...The flowers are lovely. Each flower resembles the citrus flowers. butterfly4u recommended this tree a while ago. I have already scouted out which local nursary carries this plant. It was on my shopping list but was not really in high priority... Was planning a trip to locall nursary in the fall. if it is on sale, I'll get one, if not, I can wait till next year... Now, knowing what the flowers look like and the honeysuckle scent... I can't wait to plant one in my yard ...OMG, my banker is going to call and tell me how bad I am lately... evil... Robert, you should have one in you yard too. From what I've read and heard, it is a hardy and nice plant. |
