| Interestingly enough the Registry lists the parentage as Fascination x H. Summer Fragrance (not Fragrant Summer). Summer Fragrance goes back to Plantaginea. Here's H. Fascination, the mama plant of Fragrant Bouquet. Steve |

| Ah yes!! One of my favorite extended families! I have one that looks a lot like them, but not sure it is part of the family.....Emerald Charger.....and I'll tack its photo onto the bottom. Hold on to your hat, I have 11 of them Fragrant Bouquet Fragrant Dream Guacamole , and The Shining (Cathedral Windows sport) Sweet Innocence, very recent addition Avocado was a bonus plant, perfect choice for me Fried Bananas, one of my favorites Fried Green Tomatoes Holy Mole, another bonus plant and I am pleased with it too Stained Glass The Shining (Cathedral Windows sport) Fragrant King And here is the Emerald Charger, which I got from Bob Solberg. For some reason, I feel it looks a lot like some of this family....but cannot find at this moment what I read about it. Anyway, hope Steve_Mass sees it for his question about Cathedral Windows.... |

| Called 'So Sweet', part of the FB family and another Aden plant, it too is fragrant.

| I'm really enjoying these "family" pics--especially when they include Cathedral Windows--which I just finished planting about 15 minutes ago. It came wrapped in wet newspaper, not many roots, but healthy growth on top--so I'm glad to hear it is a good, strong grower. I've got it shaded for a couple days here while it settles in. Can't wait to see it big and brawny like in these pictures here. Kate |

| I think my only members of this family are Guacamole and Stained Glass. My Guac took a hit with that late frost and is looking bit tough. Jan

| BJ, Emerald Charger is a sport of Stained Glass introduced by Mark Zillis in 2010. You should send your picture to the Library. The only Library pic is of a much smaller plant than yours. Steve |
