My mum would have been delighted to have been there .

Do they have the scent of cultivated freesias ?

Sorry I didn’t know how to spell “like” .Just spotted it . 🤨
 
These were on the outskirts of a town,so would have been planted a long time ago and have adapted ,they do have a lovely scent 🙂 I thought of your mum when I was picking them as you had mentioned her love of them Rob.
 
My aunt had some marguerites in the garden , but she made my uncle dig them up because she said they smelled of cat pee .

A yucca flowering in the Santa Monica Mountains from our hike a few months ago. These have also been known locally as “The Lord’s Candle.”

I’ve used white alyssum as a border flower and loved it. So delicate and lovely.

Impatiens are such a workhouse in the garden for me. They bloom in the shade, and I have a lot of shade, they bloom in containers, and I have a lot of those, and even if they wilt in the sun, if too much time hasn’t gone by, they perk up with a good watering. So colorful, too.
 
I love Impatiens, but haven’t planted them in a couple years. That will change next season.
 
Just dug out about 20 of them along our driveway. Lovely when they bloom, but invasive, as I never planted those 20 plants! Gave them to a friend that has plenty of room and doesn’t care how much they spread.
 
We had a large one at my family home near our driveway too. The spent flowers left a sticky mess on my dad’s car, so he also cut it down and dug it out. The trunk holds a lot of water, I recall.
 
I had some purple impatiens that had a fragrance around them. They smelled like violets.

Is it possible for impatiens to have fragrance?
