I grew that once years ago. The fragrance was quite strong. I think I like it enough to grow it again, but reserving of course, the right to become a herbacidal maniac on any plant who displeases my olfactory bulbs. I killed off a really beautiful Passiflora 'incense' years ago when the odor reminded me of someone with some sort of sickness smell covering it up with a crappy 'sweet' smell. Ugh. The I. alba though, if I grow another, I'm not sure whether I might start to like or hate the scent more than the neutral I felt. It's on my thinking-about-it list. Do you have Pandanus trees where you are??? I have two plants, quite young, and I know I'll be able to use the leaves for flavouring, but I'm really hoping that one is female and one is male, so that there will be fruits from the female, and frequent fragrant flowers from the male someday.

I have T.asiaticum ‘Mandanianum’ on my list for this summer, but I haven't smelled any of the Trachelospermums yet. I had a T.jasminoides that hadn't flowered yet some years ago, which I lost in the great landlord changes windows in dead winter episode! Lost about 20 rare ones, most originally ordered from Logees in the US at a fairly large price. Angry I smelled a Stephanotis years ago, seeing one in flower in a plant shop, but the scent was so mild and ordinary (to my nose) that I wasn't too interested. That, plus if I remember correctly, it needs some sort of colder temps to trigger flowering than I could provide for it indoors. You have these things growing as weeds around you????? I'm soaring past envy into jealousy land!

Toronto, in cold frigid Canada, the land that many Americans still think have most people living in igloos. Most of my planned garden will be in containers, indoors in the colder months, but maybe outside on the balcony in our heat wave summers.

My nose would give its right arm to be caused merry hell by wild Acacias! I smelled one in a greenhouse years ago and I liked it, unless that was a Genista maybe? I mix those up sometimes. Whatever, I'm still jealous.

Nice! I hope to join in the botanical bliss when my new collection builds over the next year. One of the ones I lost years ago was a M. figo. It had a single bloom that appeared just after potting it up and the scent was amazing. Where do you live that you get to have a garden full of these things? And by where, I mean the specific address for the taxi to drop me off at when I invite myself for a week or a year of being 'the guest who wouldn't go leave our garden'.
