I look forward to small Calypso Orchids that appear in the spring beneath redwood trees near me. Do they have a scent? I don’t know; I admire them 5466160029395074 touching. Perhaps this spring I’ll lie down in the crumbly duff beside them — and find out.
Here in Atlanta the dogwood is the most emblematic of our spring.
The odd number in previous message should have been “without touching”,

i look forward to the first snowdrops coming through.
I’m looking forward to the pink tulips I planted in our garden with Small this autumn, and especially to my Alchemist rose in my Mum’s garden, which grew from a cutting I took.
First though, I think some red roses are needed for Christmas decorations around the house.
Daffodils for their sunny dispossition.x
Lilac I love the scent it take sme right back to the garden we had when I was a child.
Lilacs – the wonderful smell of spring!
buttercups and daisies as they remind me of my sister and I running through fields in Yorkshire Dales seeing if we liked butter (put it next to your chin and it reflects yellow on your chin if you like butter) and making Daisy chains
I just love to see the blossom on the trees
Snowdrops

The snowdrops popping out hrough the icy ground
I actually really love the green smells in the spring, the grass, the ferns, new growth wetted with spring rain and then heated until fragrant by the sun.
Dahlias. So many colors and styles. And easy!
I would love to see a Tuberose-Vetiver centered scent in 2012.

I love white lilies.
Coming into winter in the Northeast. I try not to think about spring until at least March or else depression sets in.
Thanks
I think I most look forward to crocuses poking through the melting snow, and little wild violets. This coming year I also look forwar to finding out what bulbs my family planted! By then they’ll probably have forgotten.
Please count me in to win!
I look forward to the wild crocus poking up to let me know that spring is FINALLY coming!

I look forward to the redbud trees flowering!
The lilacs in our yard are getting bigger, and making more flowers each year. They smell good.
I always love tulips in the spring.
Cherry blossoms in spring always have a special significance for me
hello Andy, like the last responder – cherry blossoms in a little park in Tokyo!
The flowers never leave for long in San Francisco, but we never get lilacs for the lack of a freeze. So I look forward to (imported) lilacs this spring.
Oh that’s easy! Rose, rose, and MORE Roses!
I look forward to peonies!
I always look forward to the blooming of my huge gardenia bush. Hundreds of blooms. Overwhelming smell.
The lilacs in spring. We live in a small town and the lilacs around here are probably 50 yrs old and highly fragrant. Such a lovely harbinger of Spring!
xo
I’m looking forward to jasmine.
I also look forward to the hyacinths because they are the first thing to bloom each year and they mean spring is on the way.
My purple wisteria vine. So beautiful and fragrant.
I love roses and jasmine!
Jasmine and lilies are my favorites
I look forward to tulips in the spring. If I am lucky, I can usually see the cherry blossoms blooming in late March if I plan a trip to DC.
roses and lavender
I love it when I see Aquilegia in my garden seeded by the birds and popping up in unexpected places.
I cannot wait to small magnolia granfiflora which I have planted this year
Thank you,Andy!
roses and lavender
Hyacinth is my favorite spring flower, too, it brings big emotions and butterflies in my stomach, like the promise for a new world. I love it so much and I always wondered if I would actually like it as a perfume, too, if it was the same.
Lavender
lavender…..
Here in eastern Canada we have TRILLIONS of lilacs in the late spring (the trees on which they grow seem to thrive on the cold), and the week or so in which they bloom and perfume the air is pure pleasure.
Lavender is by far my Wifes favourite scented flower
I always, always look forward most to spring’s freesias. I live in Cape Town, and we have them in abundance. Not that the first jasmine of the year isn’t narcotic, too.
Lilac and jasmine.
I can’t see the point of growing plants that aren’t fragrant!
consequently my garden is full of them. At the moment the gardenias are in full bloom and the air is full of their heady perfume. The Chinese Star Jasmine has just finished and the Murrayas are starting to bud for the second time. Of course it’s summer in Australia, but I must admit late winter and spring is my favourite time: looking forward to the magic of the Daphne followed by the jonquils and .then, my all time favourites, the freesias and the violets
i’m waiting for a lily of the valley to smell in 2012
For 2012 Jasmine & dark rose are the ones!
