We grew up where there was no snow, not that I live where there is snow, I almost always go home for xmas and miss a white xmas still. <br />I loved hearing about the magnolia and your grandmothers wearing them in their bun and smelling good. We had different magnolia's in California. Someday maybe I will smell yours.Tammie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279605745446513635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-79214475601264538222010-08-08T10:56:58.009-07:002010-08-08T10:56:58.009-07:00I could smell that Christmas dinner.

I love the smell of lantana isn't that funny - and the hummingbirds love it. I have a huge bush here in Friburgo that I chop back every 6 months, the gardener just shakes his head and cleans up my mess but if you wnat flowers for the birds you have to keep it cut back. mine is yellow/orange maybe it doesn't smell the same as yours. not sweet but tangy/woodsy.<br /><br />word verf... cuton - keep cutting?GingerVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501023251788210094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-9390383854808481432010-08-07T23:33:00.449-07:002010-08-07T23:33:00.449-07:00I just found you.

I like the way you brought in the smell of laundry. There's a smell no one can resist. It's so fresh and inviting. I'm going to be following you.

My grandfather was forever on the prowl, keeping an eye out for any that dared to grow near his place. He would detect it with his nose and was ever so proud of me when I could do the same thing! Now I love the smell it has such fond memories of Grandad!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-85282898020804168582010-08-07T10:16:33.321-07:002010-08-07T10:16:33.321-07:00Wonderful collection of wshots here.

I remember your other post on the durian, I would never be brave enough to taste it! I'm now wondering what the hot springs smells like, it looks so unappealing with all that steam coming up! Now about those plants, I have heard of sandalwood, a heady fragrance! It's probably the most popular incence scent in this country. I used to buy it.
