Can you remember the little flowered hairbands we use to wear as kids....these bring back those memories the flowers were just like them......maybe you’re too young...😊

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I’m from the banana clip era but would have much rather had flowery hair bands! 😂

@alan1111 thanks Alan ☺️ this is the very one 😛 it’s huge now so will hopefully fill the pot before long 🤞🏻 I’m glad they’re doing well. You should get flowers late in the season 😋

@emch can’t say I’ve seen it as a plant but seeds are easy to find, and grow 😂

@crabby58 the smell really is beautiful. Vanilla but not too sweet. It’s just gorgeous 😋

@kez001uk I used to see them in the T&M catalogue, back when I had no garden at all, but now that company seems to have pulled out of the USA entirely...

@alan1111 you should get flowers this year and they seem to come from nowhere 😜 you’re always welcome 😘

@emch I had no idea they shipped to USA 😮 a lot of places won’t ship outside of U.K. since Covid & brexit affected shipping so much. Hopefully it’ll start up again soon. But if you ever want any seed, feel free to ask 😁

Oh, T&M not only used to ship here, they also had big seed displays in some of the nurseries! They left well over 5 yrs ago so Covid is not a factor...I would love to swap seeds! I can be reached at eileenmchenry269@hotmail.com

@emch and you don’t even get their seeds over there anymore? I’ll send you an email now so you have my email address 😁

@gjones the most edible scent I’ve come across. And the plant survived the horrid frosts we had so must be a strong one. I’ll be saving seed if you ever fancy trying them ☺️

Almost like radish roses. You will have to go out for a nighttime sniff every night. 😄😍 @kez001uk

Great photo you've captured it beautifully. Did you leave it out over winter or did you bring it in

@alan1111 thanks Alan 😁 it was left out all winter so am surprised it survived after bad frosts we’ve had

It must have been in a microclimate that protected it from the worst of the weather. Remember that spot for next year 😉 the seeds you gave me are doing well great germanation. Lots of them 😆 out of all my seeds they did the best.

@cyndi reminds me of a sweeter smelling Daphne. Bit like fruit loops & loads of vanilla 😋😋 I’ll save you seed 😁
