We’re reaching the time of year when gardens are put to bed, ready for the first hard frosts and when gardeners can curl up in front of the fire to choose the seeds and plants they’re going to plant next year. But I’m still itching to get out there because I know that plants have a lot to offer this time of year - especially fragrance. There are so many winter plants which not only brighten our beds but also provide us with amazing perfumes and scents to surprise us.

The classic winter plant for color and scent is the witch hazel Hamamellis mollis. One of my favourite varieties is ‘Pallida’ with its soft yellow flowers in profusion along bare stems. I am lucky enough to have a great specimen of H x intermedia ‘Arnold Promise’ in my own garden but this year I will be moving it further away from the house. The scent is surprisingly strong and needs to be diluted by distance so that when I walk out into the garden I get just a hint of scent which pulls me further into the trees and shrubs.

Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is an exotic delicate fragrance that is overpowering for some people. It comes from India and is in the olive family. We get jasmine absolute from the flowers. Actually it is an “essence” not an essential oil. The flowers must be picked at night when the fragrance is at its height. By sunrise, most of the fragrance has evaporated from the flowers. It takes a 1,000 pounds of uncrushed jasmine flowers to create only one pound of jasmine oil. Solvent extraction is used to create an absolute and the oil is produced by steam distillation of the absolute. Jasmine is an evergreen shrub or vine that may grow as long as 30 feet with delicate, bright green leaves and star-shaped very fragrant white flowers.

Traditionally, jasmine was nicknamed the “Queen of the Night.” Women have found this fragrance to be seductive and exotic. Common jasmine was said to warm the womb and facilitate birth. In China the flowers were used to treat hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and dysentery. The root was used to treat headaches, insomnia, pain due to dislocated joints and rheumatism.

Let me start this story with a bad analogy. If you went to a car dealer and was offered the choice between a Toyota and a less expensive Toyota look-alike which would you choose? The salesman would invariably tell you that there’s no difference because they are made in the same factory. Furthermore, that because the manufacturer didn’t put the Toyota label on the car, it is 20% cheaper. How could that be? All things being equal, it stands to reason that there has to be a qualitative reason for the difference in price. If not, then the reason for the difference in cost is that the name brand stuff is marked-up way too much. So much, in fact, that the manufacturer can make the same stuff, offer it as a private label and still make a decent profit. Or, maybe the look-alike Toyota was made by a car company you’ve never heard of.

To continue my argument on the first point, that being there’s a quality difference between the two. I wonder what the quality difference is between a no-label window blind and a well-known brand like Hunter Douglas, or Levolor. Do they use cheaper mechanisms and materials? That seems unlikely because it would cost them money to run two separate production lines to produce approximately the same blind or shade. I was shopping online for new vertical blinds and noticed a fairly significant price difference between what looked to be identical blinds – the brand name and the no-name. So I called their toll free number to inquire who made their signature line, I was told that it was a company called Springs. I have never heard of Springs unlike the Hunter Douglas brand which I have heard of. Few people could name more then two brands of blinds and shades at least I couldn’t until I started shopping for them. But, odds are, Hunter Douglas and Levolor are brands people know. They are huge companies and make all kinds of window treatments and fashions.
