Hi Jupiter, I can't say I have noticed a scent to the illicium foliage, but maybe it is more perceptible at some times of year. I'll crush a leaf and see. Thank you for your photos. Your pots are so photogenic, artistically situated along the path.
And fermi - really nice to glimpse the shows and outings you snap, that we might otherwise not be aware of. Seems your garden is perpetually in bloom.
Jacqui.
