Fragrant white flowers
View allAll Photos Tagged Fragrant
Amidst the great variability, in terms of colors and shapes, of blooms presented by orchids of the Dendrobium genus, those species belonging to the Callista section stand out, characterized by their showy inflorescences in the form of leafy bunches, with petals, sepals and lips in varied shades. Dendrobium chrysotoxum is a beautiful representative of this botanical section, known for its abundant blooms, composed of yellow petals and sepals, which contrast with the lip in an incredible shade of yolk orange.
The flowers are highly fragrant of honey and are short lived.
in my garden! :)

I think these yellow azaleas are the only sweet smelling azaleas in our garden. I have them flowering under my bedroom window, and they are so lovely! As they fade the honeysuckle takes over ... beautiful evening scents!

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 21403

'Fragrant Plum' is a mauve (purple) blend Grandiflora rose cultivar, bred by American hybridizer, Jack E. Christensen before 1988. The rose was awarded the ARS James Alexander Gamble Rose Fragrance Award in 2007. 'Fragrant Plum' thrives in hot climates and has the most amazing fragrance. Hence the fragrance award.
