No, mine still doesn't have a scent

:-)) I've enjoyed this exchange. People always think I'm odd when
I
say that I don't like either camellias or tulips. Apparently I
should
know that it's compulsory to like these plants.

Ah but I love Salvias and oh yes, Jasmine which someone I know
thinks
smells absolutely awful!
I wonder if there's ever been a psychoanalysis of which plants/types
of
garden you like and whether this reveals a lot about your own
personality?

I find yellow and orange plants disconcerting, love cottagey plants
but
tropical stuff never appeals.

:-)) I think it was Hardy Amies (Queen's dressmaker) who said that
orange in roses was vulgar. I love orangey coloured Calendulas but am
not fond of orange roses. And I don't like tropical looking plants in
temperate gardens but would if I lived in the tropics.
