Oh Cinta, Thank you for your thought. I have seen some posters here showing pic of big pots (at least in the pic they look big) growing different plants in them, but they are all baby plants (buds). I am just thinking about growing star or confed into one like JB's (maybe a bit bigger). (What size is that white pot? Pls tell, JB.) Never thought about "growing something at the bottom of jasmine"? Can't imagine such a setup of group pots. Will it need a super big pot for multi matured plants? Any example, photo?

Thanks



The plants I have that I added fragrance companion plants to are good for outside. I am not sure what you could use for indoor fragrance. Maybe Trav can help more than I can for your climate and what you could use for indoors like the Orchid that was suggested is fragrant.

I do the fragrance back up under planting because I like the fragrance on the patio all summer.

I have a gardenia that I planted Petunias. They are very fragrant and the gardenia blooms Late spring and early summer. The rest of the summer I have the fragrance of the petunia.


I have variegated Ginger that does not bloom until late summer so I have fragrant bulbs planted in that pot.

This is a houseplant that is not hardy so I planted surprise lilies in the pot and they are fragrant.

This orchid is not fragrant but I mounted it on driftwood and put the driftwood in the pot with this plant because the leaves of the plant is so pretty. When the Orchid was not in bloom I still had something pretty in the pot.

This is the plant before I put a piece of wood in the pot and mounted the orchid above for beauty in the winter inside the house. But the orchid is not fragrant.
