The Joy of Floral Scent

A Chocolate and Vanilla garden has pizzazz.  It brings attention to the aspect of scent in the garden and that gardens as a living art appeal to all the senses. So you want to step up the experience of your garden. What are the top ten best smelling flowers? According to the florist association this list is:
  • Stock
  • Freesia
  • Lilacs
  • Gardenia
  • Rose – garden & rainbow
  • Lilies – asian & stargazer
  • Boronia ( a fragrant shrub from Australia)
  • Jasmine
We start to think of our own favourites - and don't many come to mind.  Another site considered garden plants and flowers in the top seven:
  •  Magnolia
  •  Lilac
  •  Violet
  •  Rose
  •  Sweet Pea
  •  Gardenia
  •  Freesia
My experience is limited in terms of all the flowers in the world. A website with a thread of contributions from around the world covered unknown plants for us in the Northern Hemisphere.  Take a look at Quora.com.  Which floral scent has the cupid's arrow for you?
