| I can't think of any fragrant woodland plants for a hot, dry area since all my woodland areas are cool and fairly moist. But I did want to offer you my condolences on the loss of your pet. It's always hard to lose a member of the family. |

| These Hostas are fragrant...Regal Splendor, Fragrant Bouquet (probably the best). What about Annabelle Hydranga, it is for dry shade and smells..great. Someone had a large lilly that was white and it was very fragrant. THere are other Hostas that are fragrant as well as other shade plants. Sorry for your loss. Istanbuljoy |

| You know, I meant to say that Royal Standard was fragrant. Maybe Regal Splendor is too, but I am not sure. Istanbuljoy |

Hi, when I lost my pug in 2003 my heart and sole was also diminished along with her. Till this very moment
my husband and I are not grieving any less. Every day she walked through the garden and checked out each
and every single bloom within her reach. I learned to know what she loved as she would spend more time at
certain plants so that is what we has decided to plant for her. Good wishes with a most delightful garden are always yours.

| Fragrant or not, maybe you could plant one of the dog's favorite plants, if he had any? Think of it this way, dogs have a better developed sense of smell than we do, and even if it's not fragrant to us, it might be to them. Treasure your memories, they last forever. |
