Ah! That's one of the drawbacks of not having a hot summer. None of the fragrant flowers are all that fragrant out here. I've got the pink jasmin in the back yard and it IS very fragrant in the spring, but hardly blooms the rest of the year. I've got Star Jasmin in the front and I THINK I caught a whiff of it just now when we got home. My roses hardly smell at all.

Ok... now I'm REALLY getting bummed! Hmm... well... many not so bad. The temp is quite comfortable all year round, no stand storms, no hail storms, no hurricanes, no tornadoes... Yep! I think I'll stay in Calif!
