Do gerbera daisies or even regular daisies smell good? What about hydrangea?

To each his own but I don't think daisies smell good. I really don't remember hydrangeas having a strong smell either way. If you want good smells choose roses, pansies, Hyacinth or any herbal plant like mints.

daisies can be anything from completely odourless to quite foul smelling
Reply:For daisy-like flowers with a nice scent....try one of the new Echinaceas....like the 'Big Sky' Series.....I grew 'Sunset', ...amazing fragrance. Kind of pricy...but worth it. Hydrangeas have no scent, to my knowledge. A lovely low-growing shrub with an amazing fragrance is Daphne 'Carol Mackie'. Beautiful varigeated folaige, looks great even when not in bloom. If you could use a taller shrub, try Viburnum carlesii, it's spicy and powerful.

Fasciation is quite interesting. If you look under the flower the stem is usually flattened and as if several are fused side by side in a ribbon like structure. It sometimes affects the phyllotaxy on the stems, too.
