Moon flower vine
I have this one in a pot.
I am still debating where and if to plant it in the ground. See...these vines are like stalker boyfriends (or girlfriends, whatever the case might be), they hold on to things with their little stalking tendrils like they want to strangle you (with love, of course)...these should definitely not be planted near the house...anyway, the flowers of this vine are almost large as dinner plates, and they smell so wonderfully! They open at night mostly and also during overcast days. They remind me of daturas.

Grandma flowers
When I close my eyes and take a deep breath of these flower's sweet fragrance I am instantly transported to a time when I used butter as lip gloss (I know, stoopid kid, eh?), hadn't a worry in the world, and the best sound I could hear was my grandma yelling from the kitchen's door "Bread and jam are ready! Come eat!" Bread and jam were homemade of coursy.

Citrosa Geranium
I got three of these scented geraniums last year. The one that receives part-sun is not thriving, the other two planted in full sun are doing really well as you can see in the photo. However, they have yet to flower for me...nonetheless, its fragrance each time I walk by them is so fresh that I don't mind waiting for the blooms.
