Fragrance

A sample of some of the fragrant plants I've discovered in the garden..

Maianthemum racemosum is growing in the woodland garden. I've learned this plant before, but didn't remember that it has a strong fragrance from several feet away!

Daphne tangutica has very fragrant flowers and is relatively compact, growing to about 3 feet tall and wide. It is growing near the alpine house and can be used in rock gardens or mixed borders.

Zaluzianskya ovata, in the Family Scrophulariaceae comes from temperate South Africa. The foliage has a strong peppery scent.

Z. ovata is commonly known as night phlox, which makes sense as the flowers close during the middle of the day. At night these flowers open and are very fragrant.

This Philadelphus microphyllus was collected from Texas, where it was growing in a limestone canyon. The flowers of this shrub have a nice delicate fragrance.
