There are lots of plants blooming at the moment as we continue into late Spring/early Summer. Above are lilies of the valley, grown in a pot. I tried to grow them in the garden but they weren't happy. They seem OK in a pot at the moment, so I am enjoying them. They always remind me of my Mum as her favourite fragrance was Yardley Lily of the Valley.

She always wore it when she went out and I remember when I was little and she would come to say goodnight - the waft of that fragrance as she went out of the room has stayed with me.
The Choisya White Dazzler is flowering away at the front door and greets me with a scent of honey, I think. (It is a type of Mexican Orange Blossom, but I can't smell any oranges!) As it is in a more enclosed space, the scent is quite noticeable.
