Very pretty 🙂 We had a cactus with beautiful perfumed flowers coming out at night on my parents property years ago.The fruit were sweet (not sure if they were really edible, but I ate some anyway with no ill effects 😅)

I have honeysuckle flowering outside my window now…not a very clear photo, but anyway you’ll get the idea.

I used to grow this rose back when I had a proper garden. It had a nice spicy fragrance. This type of rose is called Scentimental. It’s color depended on the amount of sun it got. The more sun, the more red it displays. If it doesn’t get that much sun, then it is mostly white.

I like fragrant flowers best. Roses, lilacs, lavender, gardenias…

I also think tulips are delightful.
 
If tulips had a fragrance, they would be perfect!

I mean, how could someone look at field of tulips and not immediately feel happier? 😀

Are they fragrant?

I’m obsessed with fragrant flowers.

I’ve gathered that . 😉

Unlike other types of jasmine, Jasminum auriculatum has an animalic, indolic fragrance with a spicy, cinnamon-like edge. Even dry flowers have a strong scent.

But I don’t think that’s the jasmine in the photo . 🙃
