Best three fragrant plants

[aykhan]

1. Gardenias, can't beat it's fragrance!
2. Jasmines, bloom in neglect thou not as pretty as the gardenia plants or flowers.
3. Rarer fragrant plants for Lahore eg Buddleia davidii hybrids, Osmanthus fragrans, Aglaia odorata, Magnolia figo, Radermachera kunming.....

[haris.kabir]

For me it has to be

1) Tuberose

2) Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Brunfelsia latifolia)

3) Jasmine

I am enjoying The survey, so far, Jasmine/Chambeli is leading closely followed by Motia, Gardenia and Merwa. Come on every body< PATICIPATE.

Jasmine is used both for Chambali and Motia so this group is quite ahead

Probably due to smaller flowers as compared to large leaves.

[Izhar]

I like plumeria too.. the most fragrant i know is the round leaf compact variety with large bloom..

[aykhan]

Yes plumeria fragrance is just wonderful. The problem is that Brig saheb has restricted us to just the top three fragrant plants

[Farhan Ahmed]

Oh....i thought plumeria was "the best fragrant "....now i need to smell all mentioned in the above most

[Farhan Ahmed]

i searched the net for most fragrant plants and found Cananga odorata, claimed to be very fragrant. Infact its called perfume tree and its oil is used for perfumes.

Extracts from Wikipedia

"The fragrance of ylang-ylang is rich and deep with notes of rubber and custard, and bright with hints of jasmine and neroli".
