Fragrances fill my life with pleasure. Nothing brings back old memories and nostalgia to me like a smell from my childhood. Fall is one of the best times of the year for fragrance. Houses are filled with the aroma of pumpkin, apple, and the spices that go with them. Yards are filled with the perfume of flowers of many types.
One of my favorite Autumn flowers is the Butterfly Ginger (hedychium.) This sister of the canna just isn't grown in enough places. It thrives all over the South and is so easy that it should be in every yard. The gardenia-like fragrance permeates a yard like nothing else. They bloom from late summer all the way till frost. Then they come back again next year and spread even more. Such an easy pass-along plant that you can give plenty away by the second year.
However, my absolute favorite fragrance of the fall comes from the delectable Sweet Olive (osmanthus fragrans.) This one is dear to my heart because it was a staple in my grandmother's yard and in my mother's yard. My memory is stoked every time I get a whiff of the distinctive aroma of this shrub. The shrub itself is a nice evergreen plant that gets the size of a small tree. The flowers are barely noticeable. But from mid-fall through spring the fragrance wafts through the cool air of any yard where the shrub is planted. I think a hedge of this plant would be a delight. Give your own children and grandchildren another aroma to bring them good memories in the future.

Just found your blog. I love sweet olive. One whiff and I'm a college student again making my way across the LSU quad. Just bought a new house in August and was thrilled to walk outside the other day and smell that wonderful scent. Turns out I have a sweet olive tree right outside my front door!
My husband was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) four years ago. For over two years, we relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, his symptoms continued to worsen. His memory,coordination, and overall strength declined, and everyday life became increasingly difficult.Last year, out of desperation and hope, we decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, we began to notice real changes. His alertness improved, his movements became steadier, and he regained a surprising amount of energy and clarity.
Incredibly, he also regained much of his independence and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience he feels more like himself again, better than he had in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with CJD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
