When planning a flower garden, we most often rely on visual characteristics and completely forget about our sense of smell. And completely in vain.
The scent that flowers exude is not an accident. It is an evolutionary process that results in the attraction of insects for pollination. At the same time, some representatives of flowering plants "learned" to emit a smell that repels pests. Despite this, both options turned out to be in the hands of man.
Essential oils, which emit aromatic representatives of the flora, are used to create perfume compositions. And other flowers, with a frightening smell, help protect the crops planted on the site from pests. Interestingly, the saturation of the aroma that comes from the flowers directly depends on the time of day. Some smell in the morning hours, while others in the afternoon or evening.
Flowers smelling in the morning and afternoon hours
The delicate scent of flowers helps you wake up in the morning, and the smell emanating from them during the daytime keeps you in a cheerful working mood.
Carnation
In Latin, carnation means "flower of Zeus". It received this name because of its unusual beauty, while not just people called it that way, but Karl Linnaeus, the man who developed the world's first classification of living organisms. However, flower growers loved her not only for the rich variety of shapes and colors, but also for the delicate, delicate aroma that intensifies in hot, sultry weather.
It is interesting. The clove spice is not related to the garden flower. For cooking, dried buds of aromatic syzygium (clove tree), which belongs to the Myrtle family, are used. And the garden plant belongs to the Clove family.
Sweet pea
The scent that comes from the flowers of sweet peas or fragrant ranks truly claims to be a summer symbol. However, remember that the more you prune a flowering plant, the more pleasing it will be with its flowering. In addition, the aroma from cut shoots will fill the space of the room in a matter of minutes. The summer gazebo, around which sweet peas are planted, also looks extraordinary. So you will not only hide from prying eyes, but also enjoy the delicate and delicate aroma while relaxing.
Lakfiol garden
The aroma emanating from lacfioli, in rare cases, can go unnoticed. The flower garden attracts attention from afar. It's just that they thin out their incredibly divine scent so much. In the south, this plant is grown as a perennial, and in the middle latitudes as an annual or biennial.
Lily of the valley
You can hardly meet a person who does not know what lily of the valley smells like. This fragrance is familiar to many from childhood and needs no introduction. The only small drawback is that you can enjoy it only by kneeling down, it's just that they thin it so low. But there is a way out, you can plant lilies of the valley not far from the place where you often have to carry out "earthwork".
Fact! Lily of the valley is listed in the Red Book in some countries as an endangered plant. However, on the garden plot, he feels quite comfortable and can grow quite strongly, which begins to harm the flower beds.
Lavender
This is another representative of the fragrant flora that will infuse your site with the scent of the Mediterranean. You can enjoy the scent of lavender at any time, but the maximum concentration of the scent is reached at the time of the evening sunset.
On a note! Lavender is often used for relaxation. It is believed that aromatherapy with its essential oils normalizes the work of the heart.
Moss rose
As a rule, all roses are endowed with a strong scent.But in the moss subspecies, the concentration of aroma is at a maximum. It is curious that one and the same flowering plant can emit 2 different smells: the main one, which the rose smells constantly and the one that appears if the petals are lightly rubbed.
This type of rose got its name from the glandular covering of the peduncle and sepals, which resembles moss.
Flowers exuding aroma in the evening and at night
How nice it is to watch the sunset, enjoying the smells emanating from the flower garden. The working day is over, and gentle floral notes give the evening gatherings an extraordinary atmosphere of relaxation.
Matron's party
Their rich aroma is somewhat similar to the smell of levkoy. The evening party is often called the night violet. It is an excellent honey plant that attracts beneficial insects to the garden. In addition, it looks great in tall flower beds and will truly become a decoration of the garden area.
Syringa
To get into an oriental fairy tale, regardless of the weather conditions in the middle latitudes, you need to plant the most magnificent jasmine in the garden, but do not confuse it with a mock orange. This plant of extraordinary beauty will not only decorate your landscape, but also fill the air of the garden with an incomparable aroma.
Curly honeysuckle
If during the day you want to enjoy the scent of honeysuckle, then you will need to get too close to the plant or bring the flower to your face. But with the sunset, the sweetish nutmeg aroma will fill the air and you will feel this unforgettable scent with full breasts.
Winged tobacco
This option is ideal for gardeners who seek to create natural conditions on their site. Fast-growing tobacco shoots perfectly decorate a gazebo or fence. The combination of tobacco with paniculate phlox, cleoma and echinacea looks great on a flower bed.
Phlox
Almost any type of phlox exudes an unobtrusive scent throughout the day. But as soon as the sun begins to set over the horizon, the smell becomes more concentrated and pronounced. It doesn't matter what phlox you planted on the site, it will delight you with its flowering and aroma anyway.
Knowing at what time the scent of this or that color reaches its maximum concentration, you can effortlessly create whole landscape compositions that exude scent at those hours and in the place where you need them. You can also arrange an aromatherapy corner on the site, which you can visit during leisure hours and enjoy the aromas of your garden.
