    Mine don't have a strong scent.
    I found them a bit of a struggle to get going, this being the 4th. year they have been in the ground, and the first year I have had decent flowers.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Yes, I read they are a long term investment.

    Ive had an unexpected visitor to my garden this year in the form of two self seeded foxgloves in the pots i usually dedicate to tulips. Foxgloves are my favourite plant, so this is quite a lovely coincidence..

    Most of the best things that happen in my garden, are down to happy coincidence.

    A few of mt favourites.
    Two different philadelphus, plant and flower close up. The tree like one was rescued from between conifers several years ago, it was a poor scraggly thing (still is I suppose, but I'm proud of her anyway).
    Baptista, I forgot to pull out, thought it was dead.
    Curcuma from Chelesa.
    Hosta.
    Clematis whos name I have forgotten for now, but can find it somewhere.

    Might I be so bold to suggest Clematis durandii and Hosta Patriot?
    I might be totally wrong though.

    Never have known Hosta name though, so it's good to know now.
