FRESH CUT GRASS & LILACS

[DAP]

Bird, just to make sure we are talking about the same item, check this link.

Some people here call them "spice bushes' but I'm not sure they are correct about that.

Yep, Doug, that link also mentions another name being the snowball bush and it looks like the one my in-laws had. They do smell nice, but not quite as nice to my old nose as the lilacs. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

wow that's nothing like what I was thinking of. Mine are like mini lilacs in every way. That looks good too, but the proof is in the way the yard smells in the morning!

I have 7 lilac, 3 'snowball bushes', 2 climbing rose, 1 large wygelia and 4 blueberry bushes all within a 60 foot circle round the house ... for 10 days or so, the whole perimeter smells like a french hoochie [sic] house, with each scent intermingled. Wander 50 feet away from the circle and the aroma of the manure pile will clear your head instantly. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I left out wysteria because the SO planted these 4 years ago and has had no blooms yet. She's umm ... upset about this. Book says only after 5yrs or so.
