  • At this time of year rhododendrons are at their best - there are a number of (mainly edgeworthii) hybrids that are really sweetly secnted, such as "Princess Alice" and "x dendrocharis" which I can smell as soon as I open the door. They are perfectly hardy here at Arduaine (even through the winter we had) - however they can always be potted if your conditions are harsher, or less acid.

    And in a few weeks I shall be looking forwrad to the scent of the azaleas, especially "luteum"
  • yes, i love the smell of all the plants you have mentioned but i think you all must agree that theres nothing in the world like the smell of fresh dog poo thats still steaming, i cant wait for the first one of the year to be dumped on my lawn..
