Been crazy busy getting from the mainland to here, but I do intend to plant in some experimental Casteleblock planters and elsewhere on the central HPP lot the best choices. That will be the week July 18-25. I will need to buy the plants or arrange full installation service before then. Aloha and mahalo!

suggest this site as being more exhaustive. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/...17901.html

Two less common:

Qui Fah (spelled like it sounds, just a guess) - tiny yellow flowers, smells like apricots. Home Depot had them at one time.
Forbidden fruit of India (don't know true name) very nice fragrance.

Qui Fah sounds like Osmanthus fragrans. I had it in Louisiana and liked it - tall bush. Logee's Nursery in Connecticut has a different variety which sounds good.
