Kabby said:On no, my DH doesn't have a clue about perfume. In fact an old stinky perfume called TABU is the only one that works with my body chemistry. I make IT smell good!
Ohhh Karen, paperwhites? Ack.😫😫
purpleinopp said:What flowers have you found the scent of to be offensive?
Japanese privet (Ligustrum sinense)
Stapelia (carrion plant... so not a surprise)
Purple velvet (Gynura - whew, had to snip those off inside.)
One of the Wisterias (not sure which, most smell good)
Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana, smells like a really dirty men's restroom at a gross gas station. Yeah, sometimes you just can't wait for the ladies room - LOL!)
Little white Daffodils. (They smell good outside, but cut & brought inside, will have you looking for whatever's gone rotten. Maybe they change as they age?)

One person posted, many years ago, that she detected a lemon scent to the Houttuynia. I have to wonder where she shops!

I thought the colored Houttuynia smelled like lemons but the green stuff smells bad. I'm trying to keep my Houttuynia and Ostrich Fern alive. They dont seem to do very well in a desert setting.
