That flower on the sweet autumn is very tiny. I had one growing up my fence and didn't remember planting it. I thought it was bindweed. Waited for it to flower and smelled them then guessed it was sweet autumn. Well then I did a stupid thing and must have accidentally chopped it down. Glad to say it is starting back up the fence. I have a start I bought earlier this year and it has done a thing yet. Hopefully next year it will. Kris P IL
