Fragrant Flowers

[Jez]

At work today you couldn't escape the fragranct woft coming from the cut flowers, lillies, Stocks & Hypericum seed! It got me thinking what are my most favourite fragrant flowers, Stocks, Sage & Hypericum i have decided (It's Funny how when i started the job i could smell the fragrance of childhood trips in Lime Regis with my family and memories come flooding back)! Hypericum did just that. Fond distant . Does anyone else have favourite fragant flowers?

I guess mine is the trodden on scent of the chalk downland where i live.

Wild thyme and Wild Marjoram.

I love lillies the best, so if you ever want to get me flowers lillies please or roses!

Probably...except im far more into native wildlfowers than i am cars...give me an old green landrover and id be happy. (or a vw camper)

[jdurbo]

[Jez]

Yes Stop that! Right must remember lillies and roses for you Jen & Dan should i scrap the seeds and post you a landrover instead?lol

White clover flowers smell very nice if you can bend down that far! Also Hoary plantain and Greater butterfly orchid.

Never had ago a smelling hoary plantain must give it a go

for me absolutely nothing beats the smell of honeysuckle late in the evening

Though a bluebell wood in the spring comes close.....

[Jez]

Why don't you set up your pc/laptop in the green house Naturelover so we can always get you
My first year too with sweet peas! I grew the variety Lemington, lovely lilac colour and very deeply fragranted. I have been cutting them back and bringing them inside WOW! I'm going to double up on Wigwams next year.

Many- yes the aromas of Thyme + Marjoram being walked on, Philadelphus flowers, Honeysuckle, Jasmine + even the sweet smell of Ivy blossom.

[Jez]

I'm sorry! I know your not a women dan i can tell buy the stubble & i wasn't the last time i looked either! Just a bizzare remark as too why are we the any fellas that like fragant flowers? Maybe it's a bit too girly?

[Dan Salter]

Indeed it is girly and i think your all gay...i merely like the occasional whiff of thyme and marjoram as i walk on it...others are now mentioning the smell of non native cut and garden flowers...im outta here

[Jez]

Lilly of the valley by oil of olay's quite nice
