Cut Flower Garden
One of the greatest joys of gardening is bringing fresh flowers full of sweet perfume into our homes. Here you will find plants that will overfill your vase and garden with beautiful flowers. Some of these possess fragrance.
Cut flower tip: pick fragrant flowers in the early morning or late afternoon – the volatile oils that carry the scent are evaporated by the sun. To experience the most intense experience of a flower’s fragrance, lean close and breathe lightly into it before inhaling. The heat and rush of air releases the fragrant oils. Fragrances seem to lose their scent after a few moments, but the flower hasn’t run out of perfume – rather, your olfactory system is saturated and you are numbed by the smell.
