My late grandfather asked me to smell a twig of Philadelphus flowers, when I was 5 or 6 years old. He was almost blind, but he had been an avid gardener all of his life (he would have been 113 by now if he still had lived). I still remember my surprise as he recognized the plant without barely seeing it. First later I realized how natural it would have been for him to orientate himself in the garden with the help of the most fragrant plants. I still love the scent of Philadelphus...<BR/><BR/>Hopefully everything is well with you and your family, I've been reading about the bushfires and they really make me sad.The Intercontinental Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419730672738553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804292643577176699.post-7355047782386227922009-02-09T02:42:00.000-08:002009-02-09T02:42:00.000-08:00thanks for the comments - I'm absolutely delighted...thanks for the comments - I'm absolutely delighted to read the feedback!

Invaluable.<BR/>My partner is from NZ and we go to the kapiti Coast every 2 years. Every trip I discover something new and marvel at it's uniqueness which always stands out to me.<BR/>Thanks for your thoughts.<BR/>Penelope Aviary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804292643577176699.post-55822503775954858212009-02-03T12:22:00.000-08:002009-02-03T12:22:00.000-08:00Hello TinaMy time travel plant is the Bluebell.

True 'planted by nature' as opposed to naturalistic planting.<BR/><BR/>RobRob (ourfrenchgarden)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05087218232138304239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804292643577176699.post-44870986587608851162009-02-02T14:14:00.000-08:002009-02-02T14:14:00.000-08:00Hi againYour blog is now included on my list!Looki...Hi again<BR/>Your blog is now included on my list!<BR/>Looking forward to a rewarding cyber-friendship.<BR/>(I still have a lot to learn re: technology of blogging, but maybe we can help each other there?)
