What would those ancient silk routes have been without incense and myrh to motivate them? Imagine the Christian nativity without those spices? From paths of honey bees to camels crossing deserts to Wilson's mule train* descending from a Himalayan meadow filled with Lilium regale to Shakespeare's primrose path to infinite possibilities in our gardens - this could be a huge subject.

But fragrance can be so subtle and passingly brief, hence potential for little participation in a forum. I vote we give a forum on Fragrant Flowers, Plants and Paths a chance - maybe we'll knock a few smelly socks off Whistling

*Wilson fell off his mule on the way down that mountain side and broke his arm. It is said that all those mules, laden down with bulbs of Lilium regale crossed over him on that narrow, steep trail with nary a hoof touching him.

ps - Dave and/or Trish, if this forum comes to be, would it be possible to include some of the threads from my deleted cubit on Fragrant Paths, Posies... ? I can't remember the exact name of that cubit. JB contributed some wonderful posts about gardenias and Gerris2 contributed some intriguing posts about fragrant morning glories.

A Fragrant Flowers, Plants and Paths forum could overlap so many other subjects, thus potentially growing both itself, other forums and ATP overall.
