Calycanthus floridus (sweet shrub, or Carolina allspice). we have

two outside our dining room windows in columbus (ohio). we also

have bush honeysuckle, mockorange, and (korean) box, all of them

quite fragrant, in the garden. and an indian lime tree in a pot;

it is covered with blooms right now, and gives off an intense

sweet smell.



when we're in palo alto, we have a set of victorian box trees

(Pittosporum undulatum) just across the street; they scent the

entire neighborhood. after them come the wisterias and jasmines.



i've already forgotten why i'm discussing this on ADS-L...i think

the fragrances have gotten to me.
