Akebia:  I have 2 of the 5 leafed variety; live in WI and have lost 1, and replaced it.  The second one was newly planted.
Flowers are small; I didn't especially notice any fragrance.  I planted them because the area they are in is shady and they did grow fairly quickly to cover my arbor.  Nothing on the plant sticks; you need to help it while young (tie it).
Tiger lilies:  jungseed.com in WI is one place.
Trumpet lilies are extremely fragrant.  I have pink, white (Regal), golden, and yellow ones.

I will be moving to a new property soon, and am thinking about what to plant.  I like fragrant flowers, and the Akebia vines in the Raintree catalogue cot my eye.  Does anyone here have any experience with them?  Are they easy to grow?  I'll be in zone 6 in central Kentucky.

I'm also looking for some old-fashioned Tiger Lillies.  I am having a hard time finding them.  I'm looking for orange lillies with the brown or maroon spots.  Does anyone know of a source for them?

Thanks--
