Fragrances tha Surprise - TOW
MATTHEW GALE (Wed, 14 Apr 2004 04:37:11 PDT)

You're not going mad, Dave! I've noticed that some of my Tulbaghia violacea
are scented, but only the white ones. It's quite faint compared to some of
the other species, but similar to the scent of bananas.

Tulbaghia acutiloba will always be on my 'must have' list.

Hi Rhoda,
Hopefully by the time you get here in June both Tulbaghia violacea x
capensis CGV1970 will be in flower which is also cinnomon scented, and
crossed fingers Tulbaghia macrocarpa which strongly smells of almond.

If lucky you might even smell banana on some of the Tulbaghia violacea

here;

and no I'm not going mad.

One bulb I do like the fragrance of is Crinum firmifolium from Madagascar,
to me it smells of violets.

Best Wishes,
Dave (Plymouth, UK)
