I can’t like that one Rob,looks like Australia and would be an invasive weed 😅
Another is Gorsebush which is very hard to eradicate .The yellow flowers smell nice but the thorns are pretty vicious

Well @Greenfields you were warned . 😉

“It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.”
 
Freesias . My mum loved the scent of freesias .

I was never stuck which flower to buy my mum .

And they did fill the house with their scent .

I once bought her a bunch of dahlias , but she wasn’t too keen on them .She said they were full of “wick things” , by which she meant creepy-crawlies . 😆
 
Mum loves them too Rob 🙂 I can see some just getting little buds in her garden now that my sister recently planted…they are a lovely lemony scented white with yellow throats,quite small.
 
I remember having a freesia scented bottle of shampoo when I was a child.

Loved that scent.
 
Texas Rangers, a popular landscaping bush in my community.

Ironwood. I planted one 15 years ago. It hasn’t bloomed yet.

They’re beautiful, Rob. I am really partial to white ones, but love all colors.
 

Fuchsias .​

I took note of these on my first holiday in Cornwall where many had them as hedges for their gardens , and then I saw lots of them on a holiday in the Highlands of Scotland .

Very pretty, Rob. Kind of reminds me of buttercups, which I love!

Thank you for all the lovely photos.

The hummingbirds here go crazy over fuchsias. One of their favorite flowers.

I wonder if that is what is in my yard…very hard to eradicate. Does it have white flowers and look like morning glories?
 
Thanks, Milt. When I looked at your link, there was a link to this one, and I think this is exactly what grows in my garden. It is a beautiful flower, but the vine grows all over the place, even if I tried to let it grow up the empty trellis I had.

Oh you poor darling :confused: I have the small white flowered variety that is throughout the garden.The Hawkmoth larvae attack it in late Spring/early Summer and there’s also a kind of fungal disease that halts it to a degree.
It makes growing seedlings almost impossible as it grows faster than they do ,choking them.It also climbs
up plants causing them to fall over …very much binding them .
