These flowers bloom on a trellis at my neighbor's house. They are small, but very fragrant and beautiful. I took a scant few and put them into this tiny vase that was handmade by my dear friend Kathy O'Shea. The little arrangement looks perfect in my tiny bathroom.

Fraxinus cuspidata I always liked the "Fringe Tree" , but these are just as pretty and smell sweet too.
When H. 'Flower Power' arrived, it did not look like much so I put it in a coffee can. Then it bloomed big fragrant flowers, and set gigantic seed pods. I will repot it more appropriately soon. I expect to cut the plastic Folgers can off of her.
Dianthus is a genus of about 300 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native mainly to Europe and Asia, with a few species extending south to north Africa, and one species (D. repens) in arctic North America. Common names include carnation (D. caryophyllus), pink (D. plumarius and related species) and sweet william (D. barbatus).
My only complaint about the candles is that the rings can be a little tricky to fish out. I’m sure it’s not easy to figure out the perfect way to pour hot wax and get a little packet of fragrant jewels rings to stay in just the right spot, but I’ve found that the glue that’s used to secure the ring packaging to the side of the jar can be a little overzealous. I’ve gotten a fair amount of hot wax on my fingers trying to detach ring packets from FJ candle jars.
