to the scent of freesia? Back in 1989 I bought some yellow freesia from
a florist in Palo Alto, and the scent filled the office. The ones here
in Connecticut are barely scented at all. At first I thought they must
be a different species -- the California ones are not frost-hardy -- but
the florist said that his were hot-house grown.

It seems that in the florist trade-scent is a no no.
In the past I have raised a number of Carnations from seed with very choice
fragrances, but when I see them at the florists - not a scent to be found-or
if they have a scent it's minuscule.
