I guess I have to put in my 2 cents that I really don't care if a plant has fragrant flowers or not. The form, color and quantity of flowers is far more important and fragrance is a plus. I can certainly enjoy coral peonies (including the just finished 'Coral Fay' a real beauty with single hot coral flowers) and I don't find their fragrance to carry much in any case. Since I rarely cut any flowers, but prefer to enjoy them in place on the plant and in the garden, again fragrance is a peripheral plus. Plants grown for fragrance have to have other qualities too like Viburnum (esp carlesii) Daphne (various) and Lilacs all fragrant enough to scent large areas of the garden without having to stuff my nose into their centers. Each has excellent form, nice abundant flowers and ease of care. If a plant can carry its charms without fragrance, no fragrance will win it over for me. And some plants with an abundant 'nasty' fragrance such as Dracunculus and other aroids, also doesn't necessarily restrain my enthusiasm for their other qualities. Right now the Peony 'Windflower' is charming me endlessly by its small, anemone-like blooms on elegant cut foliage in light shade. I stop every time I walk near it to admire its whole vision of balance, proportion and dignified beauty. I don't have a clue if it is even fragrant at all. Never sniffed it. And allergies have stuffed my nose enough to make fragrance a theory only. best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
