Blooms really do smell like coconut
Comments (5)I'm green with envy. I bought a plant in bloom last year, it's doing well, but no sign of buds. I also have a smaller growing variety, a nice size clump, but again no buds. Thx for the culture link, I'll check it out. Sheila :)...See MoreSmells like parsley, what is it?
Comments (11)I am glad you have something besides Hemlock in your area. .... I figure it's always worth warning anyone who finds "wild carrots" or "wild parsley" that Hemlock looks just like it and to be very cautious. I about had a heart attack when I realized this plant is a common weed in my neigborhood and on my lot. It's so toxic you aren't even supposed to pull it with your ungloved hands! I just grubbed out more little 6" volunteers of it today and made a mental note to remind my neighbors (with young kids) that they have it growing near their patio again. Anyway- glad you apparently don't have to worry about it....See MoreFor those who have smelled these...... what do they smell like?
Comments (8)Flower: I forgot to mention the sweet Olive.... it is the best I just love it, I go out on my patio and front porch and have to smell it every time.. it is the most beautiful sweet scent of apricots, I have 4 that are blooming right now and it's so different from any other plant I ever smelled, I ordered a synthetic oil on ebay and put it all over my house on flat cotton wipes, I even put it in the vents of my heater, it is really nice. I have 4 michelia figos that all have buds on them, they smell like very sweet ripe bananas. I also love the smell of honeysuckle, I bought a couple six packs of ground cover honeysuckle and planted them in hanging pots near my patio door, I think it will be a wonderful waft when they all come into bloom. I can hardly wait to smell them, this is my first season with all my fragrant plants. If your just getting started on fragrant plants be careful it's very very addicting but fun!!!! My other most favorite is brugmansia (Angel Trumpet), they are absolutely THE BEST! The differnt colors vary in fragrance, some smell a strong honey vanilla, others smell like a sweet lemony citrus, and another smells like a white flower scent like jasmine with the honey also. They are wonderful only smell at night, I have about 7 now and growing more, the ones by my front door smell my whole living room up when the door is open on a warm evening. So..... enjoy!!!!!! P.S. brugmansia's are very easy to root from a cutting....just stick it in water for a few weeks and stick it in the ground, they grow like weeds....See Morewhat weed (?) smells like coconut?
