Re: OT-BIO:Scott--Mystery Iris

Yep, your sniffer is working properly!  CITY LIGHTS is an iris that smells
just like root beer.  Some other irises smell like grape soda pop, others
smell spicy, some sweet, and some like a cat box.  I find most irises to
smell like latex balloons.

Also, what smells spicy to me has often smelled sweet to others, or visa
versa. Once I smelled one I thought was gawd awful, and another friend
thought it smelled like vanilla.  Go figure.
