freesias

-- [ From: nonayobusiness * EMC.Ver #2.3 ] --

Hi, enjoy the scent.  When we had the greenhouse I bought a bunch of the
bulbs and grew them.   I only smelled them if I stuck my nose right into
the  blooms, and even there, there wasn't much  scent.  I attributed it to
maybe the variety.  I seem to recall that they kind of slowed down and went
dormant a good while after they had finished blooming, and then I reawoke
them some time  in  the winter.  (I could be wrong).  I  think I got them
to rebloom 2x, but there was less bloom each time, and then we sold that
house, and I gave a lot of stuff away.  The ones I had were from a mixed
color selection, at least  that  was what they said.  All the blooms were
red  with yellow borders, and I thought they were kind of garish, to tell
you the truth.   I have a pretty sensitive sniffer, and this isn't the
first thing that I've been told was  blessed with a wonderful aroma,  only
to be disappointed.   Ex...Keys of Jupiter (something rubra), fothergilla 
(supposed to smell like honey?  No way!);  certain varieties of
roses....Well, you enjoy your  SWEET smelling freesias!  I'm gonna sniff
the last gardenia flower on my plant!  Now THERE's something that I can 
sink my nose into!  Sniffing in  New City NY, Lauren B.
