    Cute post but rather vague. The Jasmine in the picture is nt actually a true Jasmine at all but a Trachelospermum jasminoides. Very lovely scent, but nt a jasmine. Jasmines themselves vary much in scent, as do Honeysuckles. Some of them are not scented AT ALL!

      Another amazing thing is some honeysuckles are edible and the nectar delicious. We cant forget lemongrass. Lemongrass and rosemary fragrance is a great calming smell together. I use this combo to help me get to sleep.

    I would add chamomile, which smells like green apples when brushed against or walked on, and heliotrope, which smells like vanilla.

      Agree with you but it’s extremely poisonous. Even the water you put it in can kill a children if they drink it. Be careful!!!

    What is the white delicate flower shown at the beginning of the post?

      The white flower at the beginning is black cohosh (cimicifuga racemosa). The black refers to the root. The flowers of black cohosh smell decidedly unplesant, it’s a lovely and useful plant but never chosen for its pleasant smell!
      I was at an herbalist convention a few years ago and a famous herbalist had us all bury our noses in the black cohosh flower and inhale deeply, as she exclaimed how it smelled like a… ahem… male exudation. Needless to say there were a lot of people recoiling from the plant in horror and coughing and sputtering. Sorry to go there but thought you should know!

    One of my favorite plants is Daphne Odora. An early spring bloomer, it’s very fragrant,
    citrusy blossoms are always a welcome to the end of winter.
