I guess the deciduous ones are fragrant, I was sorely tempted by them at one point. The downside of Rhodies for me is all the messy deadheading now that the blooms are gone. The double bloodroot sounds great, the leaves are very attractive. I'm coming up to Seattle in July for my nephew's wedding, I might be able to visit a nursery or so...
