Do tansy flowers smell like honey?
Comments (4)The flowers on my tansy plant have just opened this past week and have hardly any scent at all. The smell is similar to ox-eye daisies (C. leucanthemum). Anyone else?...See MoreWhat do primroses smell like ???????
Comments (44)Ok, so that's about 8-10 inch pot I believe. Thanks! You do realize you're enabling a plant addict, right? lol Btw, I just confirmed from the grower that the heliotrope seeds I bought from her are dark purple 'marine' variety and she says it smells like vanilla. Hmmm, the photo showed light purple, so I assumed it wasn't marine. You guys think the marine one smells more like cherry pie? Which fragrance is better, cherry pie or vanilla? How many would you plant indoors? I planted 6 for now....See MoreWhy do Amethyst Falls Wisteria flowers smell like cat urine
Comments (9)It took me 3 years to train mine into a 6-foot tree form and it died this winter. :( Oh well, but back on topic ... sometimes the flowers smelled really sweet and grape-like and sometimes they smelled like cat urine. Go figure. If I remember correctly, they smelled sweeter and more pleasant when they were young and began to smell poorly as they aged. This year I'm going to try again to form a Wisteria standard, but I'm using Wisteria macrostachya 'Blue Moon'. It's supposed to be more hardy, but like Amethyst Falls it's not crazy aggressive. Also, the flower panicles are longer (about 1 foot) and it supposed to repeat bloom at least 2-3 additional times through the season. Wish me luck!...See MoreDo you think cilantro smells like ...
Comments (38)What I don't get is all the Mexican food here has tons of cumin in it, but when I was younger, I lived in Monterey and on a ranch just north of Guadalajara. I learned to make all of their foods and not one dish had that in it. My first experience with Cilantro was on the ranch. I was riding my horse in some woods and got poison oak. The old women there chopped up the cilantro and mixed it in a glass of water with some other herbs. They told me to drink it to get rid of the poison oak. I couldn't stand the smell and declined. It took 20 years for me to acquire a taste for it in salsa....See Morejenny_in_se_pa
