What is the wonderful, heady, grape fragrance that the neighbors and I
notice in our back yards now (at night only!)?

Poking our faces into each bush separately, we smell nothing. It seems
completely diffuse, tho perhaps a bit stronger near the Texas mountain
laurels (four small ones, in different areas). It's as strong a fragrance as
texas mountain laurel flowers, passion flowers, or grape hyacinths.

Yum,
Linda

Are there any loquats around there? They're coming into the peak of
bloom right now. The scent is most obvious at night and it carries
quite a distance. The honeybees are certainly aware of it in the
daytime, though. These flowers are fairly inconspicuous to look at.
