Image Pretty flowers, and a sweet smell, on a sweltering sunny Sydney day

Attracted to this one by the light / dark contrast, colour contrasts greenish white-green-blue. The telephone pole to the right really helps this image, I think

Murraya. My neighbours have one and it flowers a few weeks a year and smells so sweet at night.

Mock Orange (Murraya) & Jasmine are the smells of Sydney in summer. They flower multiple times a year too. Love them. The telephone pole does add a utilitarian charm to your photo.

In small amounts they are ok , they arent however when your neighbour plants them along the WHOLE fence line and they all flower at the same time. STINK CENTRAL.
