Mimulus is also known by its common name, Monkey Flower. Its bright orchid-like flowers will attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. They prefer moist soil, so this is a perfect plant for areas in your garden that are damp or wet such as bog gardens or around ponds with afternoon shade in hotter climates

The mock orange as its name suggests is not a true orange, but it does have beautiful citrus scented blossoms. Some varieties are more fragrant than others so check with your local garden centre as to the best varieties for your garden and be sure to plant it where you can enjoy its fragrance.
