The correct sentence that expresses the conditional mood is:

"If we had left earlier, we would have arrived on time."
"If Evan had called, we would make plans for later."
"If the rain had stopped, you could have gone to the park."

The sentence "If the flowers are blooming, they would have smelled sweet" is incorrect. It is not expressing a conditional statement, but rather a hypothetical statement in the present.
