Answer 1

Plumeria are perfect for your climate and one of the most fragrant flowers in the world.. Some of my Clivia are very fragrant but you need to keep them dry during the monsoon.  RScott

Answer 2

I cannot provide an extensive list, but my husband is from this area. In his place I've seen roses do very well. Jasmine is another plant that does well. Of course, marigolds do well too, but they don't smell all that good :) They supposedly help keep the mosquitoes away though.

Answer 3

my husband just bought a Oriental Lily, a flower with bulbs, tall and smells so good.  Plan to put in garden and we live in the Sierra's, 5,000 ft.  Also we have a orange color lily, that comes back every year, 2ft tall, not sure of species, and smells very good too.  And we get snow, lots of it.  I don't know if this will help you.  the lilies that are planted come back each year with more shoots, and beautiful flowers.  I'll try to think of the name of the lilies already planted and mail again.   Hopefully help, vines I'm not sure of.

Grow mint plants, to create a scented garden in the sun. Plant catmint and lavender along walkways where leaves are liable to receive a casual brush, releasing a sweet aroma into the air. These plants will attract pollinators, like butterflies and honey bees, in any garden.Roses are the most popular flowers found in a scented garden. But beware; some roses with beautiful blooms and clever names are without a trace of fragrance. Search for scented roses at botanical gardens.Geraniums are highly scented flowers that you can enjoy in containers or in the gardens surrounding your greenhouse.Bulbs such as hyacinths and lilies are other types of fragrant plants that you can grow indoors or outdoors and that will add a sweet smell to the air.One plant that you don’t hear much about is the Flowering Tobacco plant. This is a plant that has oval shaped leaves, with trumpet shaped flowers that cover the plants. The flowers will close during the day, and open during the evenings when the sweet scent of the plant is then released.
