Does a generator plant count ? To light the darkness ?
Honeysuckle ?.........................that is a plant not an offer.

I thought for one wonderful moment you were starting a thread on Upsy Daisy, Iggle Piggle, Makka Pakka and the Ninky Nonk, today's younger generation's retelling of the Egyptian Book Of The Dead.

Ive never endorsed psychodalic drugs. Even for the so called artistic set. The teletubbies sealed my opinion.

Im looking for plants and flowers like midnight jasmine etc that tend to omit a scent at night rather than during the day....... hence a "night garden"

Jasmine is nice, but it needs to be in an open area. It can overwhelm an enclosed space very quickly.

I had considerable success with Rosemary for several years if that helps. Heather, on the other hand, was erratic a lot of the time. My experience is that Heather and Rosemary don't get on well in the same bed, they end up tangled together if you neglect them.
Be warned, Laurel takes up a lot of room.

Got rosemary and sage all over the place. Propagate a lot of herbs

I thought the same!! Would be more interesting :wah:
Apologies to Magenta for implying her thread isn't interesting already :p
How about night scented stock or nicotiana, I've grown both under a bedroom window in the past (then spent the night sneezing)

Ah, yeah he was cute.
I just always thought the creators of that show were on a really bad trip. ..... or a good one, depending on your outlook. Lol
