Well, As to the scents of iris, I don't smell real good.
.wait, that's NOT what I mean! My sense of smell isn't the best(.that sounds better !
). Here's a list that I compiled of different iris, and their aroma. The ones with a *, are ones that I grow, and THINK smell the way they are "supposed" to..
Black Magic* Anise.....or MAYBE root beer?
Gypsy Woman "
Grape Situation Grape Kool-Aid
Sweet Lena grape Soda pop
I. pallida * grape
Grapette grape
Pocohontas* grape
September Sailor Root Beer
Gingersnap Root beer
Elkhart Root beer
Inca Chief* Root beer
Picador* Root beer
Alcazar * Root beer
English Cottage* fresh washed linen....reminds me of sheets dried on the clothes line!
Loreley* lilacs
Lemon Pledge lemon
Idol's Dream lemon
Lime Mist lime
Peking Summer orange
Heartbeat Away citrus
Last night daffodils
Petite Polka Nestle's Quick
Burgandy Brown chocolate
Death By Chocolate chocolate
I will add that of the ones that I grow, some of them just "smelled good" to me ,until someone else pointed out the "name' of the scent...then I said "yeah, it DOES smell like...." So, does anybody grow these? Is the list accurate ?Can you add any more ? I started gathering this info because I though about a "theme" garden...all different aromas, but, I got side-tracked someplace
