Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on June 10, 2025, 4:06 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin , my Carolina all spice is long past blooming now, but it was very beautiful this year, with lots of blame. I can smell your Carolina allspice from here, lol. the Dropmore scarlet honeysuckle is beautiful. Does this smell like the wild?? as a child we always like to suck at the little drop, honey. It was very sweet as I remember. You will like the pink bloom of the Tamarisk. Beautiful bloom on the lilac.. I bet it smells delicious. The Dames rocket boom is gorgeous.! Deutzia is a very nice shrub.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 10, 2025, 11:46 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. I missed your pic of the Carolina Allspice, earlier, this year. My plant does not have fragrant flowers. Could be a genetic issue. I always thought the "allpsice" portion of its name, referred to the scent given off, by rubbing the leaves. There is a culinary spice, by the same name. Dropmore Scarlet does not have a scent, however one of its parents, does. yep, both the lilac and Dame's rocket are fragrant. The Deutzia is not, though.
