… do frit bulbs smell of anything special then NC? Never noticed, and I have quite a good sense of smell - but guess one persons perfume is another ones - well, anything but!!
Lovely that we all enjoy our plants for so many different reasons, including the smells that are not usually recognised as perfume - yet another of the joys of gardening.
On a sweeter note, the shrub honeysuckle is in full flower and the perfume of that is wonderful, just a twig or two gives a wonderful out door touch to the house.
Experimented with the leaves of my stinking hellebore - they smell quite strong, and very green - but not unpleasant - i think it has been much maligned Never knew green had a smell - but that is definitely it
