One of the best parts of Sharp Dressed Man is that amazing fragrance.  Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities," |

Its odd, but i have a sensitive nose, and irises that have a strong or definite scent are of interest to me. This seedling of mine --- Terracotta Bay X Strut Your Stuff has a strong, almost lilac scent to it.  but getting back to the dark bitone topic -- my most powerful grower in the neglecta/bitone category of blues and violets is Whale's Tale -- (Schreiner '12) has a light, almost candy corn smell to it. :)  |
