Yeah, that orange one that I got the super maco of was lazy that day, I love the pics I got of the fuzzy pollen head.
To be honest Kev, I have Iris to spare now I imagine. We'll see in the spring how they do. The stacked stone flowerbed has very little room for dirt!
What kind of agave do you have, do you know? I would be interested. I didn't mention in this post, but when I found out that agave will not overwinter outside here without help I dug up the two pups planted on the back hill and gave them to a couple of folks at the discount lumber place. I told them to keep them safe so I can get starts from them. *grin*
Hyacinth, lilies, narcissus and sometimes jasmine are all too powerful for me. They go from scent to stink. I love most other flowers. Oh.. except voodoo lilies. *grin*
Wow. That's quite the summary! Knowing you from way back I know of your love for Zinnias and I'm really pleased that you had such a show going on so late. :) Yay! for a tomato garden. :) Like Kevin, I love the smell of hyacinths. They can be really sweet, though. Other than roses, what floral scents do you like?
Just about all flower scents I love except: "hyacinth, lilies, narcissus and sometimes jasmine are all too powerful for me. They go from scent to stink. I love most other flowers. Oh.. except voodoo lilies. *grin* "
I really like fragrant tea olive, elleagnus , tuberoses, orange, lilacs and azalea. Oh, and moonflowers are nice to, but they are very gentle, so you have to get right on them to smell them... and since they attract their pollinators with sticky sap, it can be messy to get close to them!

Let me know when you have irises to spare. I've also got agave, if you want any (when they're ready to divided).
Love the camouflaged orange butterfly. :-)
