It may have a lemon scent, but I can't confirm that because it's growing at the back of a flower bed filled with thorny roses, so I never get near it until pruning time, and it doesn't have blooms then.

zuzu said:Oh, Mika, those herons drive me nuts. I buy small feeder fish. As soon as they get big enough to be seen from a distance, a big blue heron parks on my roof and swoops down to kill anything orange he sees in my pond. It's heartbreaking because he doesn't even eat them. He just stabs them with his bill and leaves them to float on the surface.
