By special request! The thread "May we have a fragrant forum?" in Site Talk forum

Thank you so much, Dave And the butterfly in the vitex is priceless.

Waaahoooo.....my FAVORITE (ok a tie with Mid Atlantic) Forum!!!!!!

Hello Chantell, it has been some time since we have touched base. Too much going on. Hope you have had a nice Spring and Summer, so far. I am hoping to run into some other friends on this forum. I think about you every time one of my fragrant beauties bloom . I know you appreciate them as much as I do. I just thought of something that goes back to when I was a kid growing up in the Pa. Dutch Amish Country. The Amish would say" Ah, that schmocy goot" . Not sure how to spell it but you knew what it meant when they said it. I was never good at German or Pa. Dutch.
See you all soon again. Time to take some cuttings.

Chantell good to see you here!! Dave thanks for this forum!!

Horrible, horrible privet.. Lee

Thought I would share these today because they are one year old plants from my oldest Maid of Orleans prior to her demise last July. I had 105 cuttings and this is all that is left. 13 of them. They are just beginning to bloom and they are so small but so happy and healthy. I lost all of the others this winter because of the warm winter, I could not keep the GH at the proper humidity and temps that is needed for these little guys to grow. I was just sick about loosing all of them, but I have three three year old plants I kept from the first Maid and they are going to give me some cuttings in a week or two hopefully.
Take a real long smell................................oh my they are just so sweet and comforting. I am great on the aroma therapy...enjoy.


Another beauty that is growing in this heat and really thriving is the Gardenia Taitensis. I only have one cutting alive from that one. Lost so much over the winter.




Keep on breathing in deeply and enjoy these beautiful fragrance. All will be fine and peaceful...relax.
