Autumn provides a welcome break and it's just enough that after the holidays, I too, get OCD and go crazy with seed catalogs tapping fingers on the table waiting for the mailman to deliver them

And you MUST inhale the intoxicating aroma of a real fresh lilac, it is the ultimate sign spring is finally arrived for me. I have one right outside my office window here, and when the breezes blow, and the scent wafts through window, it's so beautiful, truly. Hmm...I think I need to plant more of them!
Some oif my best boyhood memories include the sweet fragrance of lilac wafting into the house through open windows in early morning. I can't imagine why I've never planted any as an adult. I suppose it never seemed practical since my work required us to move every few years and leave the lilac behind. This year, I did plant a lot of Yellow Jasmine and I am patiently waiting for next spring and the wonderful aroma from their blossoms. Can you think of other plants which release their pleasant fragrance into the air besides Jasmine and Lilac?

My childhood memories include the scent of lilacs as well but for DH it's honeysuckle.

One more for Lilac. We had a huge bush at our last house. It was 7+ foot tall and had huge flowers on it. We would have people walking by asking for flowers. Of course I gave them some. They were great, we got a dwarf Lilac for the new house against my will I wanted a full size plant. I'm about ready to rip it out and put a biggun' in.

Not shrubs, but my summer garden is not complete without sweet peas, mignonette and evening scented stocks.
