In case you didn't know: If you lengthen the exposure time (not possible on cheaper digital cameras like mine) then the aperture (f-stop) will be smaller and your depth of field (focus) will be greater.

Thanks Max I'll try that...This plant is in a bad place to get a good clear picture. It's among others and in the shade...I'd be embarressed to say how many pics I've actually taken...LOL! I'll keep trying though!

Stacey, at a speed slower than 1/250th you may need a tripod.

What part of the plant does the oil/scent originate? I thought it was the leaves, but the flowers look sticky, do they smell anything like the "patchouly" scent that is associated with it?

I think it is the young leaves mostly, at least for potpourri. When I walk by a plant in my office and brush it with my hands the scent fills the air and stays on my hands.
You'll love it...
