Horticulture - Subtly Fragranced? My Aster...    
Subtly Fragranced? My Aster...
May 21, 2009

Summary

I saw this beautiful Tree Peony 'Tamasudare' blooming at a nursery the other day, so naturally I went in for a sniff.
I have to say, that was one of the worst smells EVER. It was like something you'd clean your grill with. I felt like my lungs got exfoliated. It was like sucking on a semi-truck exhaust. It was sort of like huffing spray paint, but less fun. It was like painting the insides of my nostrils with gasoline. It was like taking a shower in weed killer. It was bad. 
Ahhh. So I didn't buy it.
I'll be in the forum, you can tell me what else stinks.
