I agree, Rhoda. Tulbahgia simmleri is an absolutely oustanding subject,
with a long season of bloom and fragrance to boot. And no foliar garlic
odor! The flowers range from white to pink and lavender shades. I will be
sending seed to the IBS BX soon.

encounter with it was late one afternoon when I couldn't figure out which
one of my plants was emitting such a beautiful strong scent, almost like
cinnamon. What a surprise when it turned out to be the insignificant flower
of an onion family! It has a scent only after about 4 pm for a couple of
hours. Another good one is Tulbaghia simmleri (used to be T. fragrans).

coccineus, Nerine humilis, Gladiolus vaginatus, Tritoniopsis pulchra,
Brunsvigia orientalis (just over) and an Oxalis sp.
