Dear Dave; Ths is a time I approach almost with dread, that one morning I'll walk into my small cool greenhouse and be overcome by the fragrance of T. simmerli alba and not be found for hours - asphyxiated. The fragrance must be the most intense of any bulb matching and exceeding hyacinths or paperwhites indoors. I have more than a dozen stalks expanding and about to bombard me. I have noticed that like many white flowered plants, the fragrance seems strongest at night and lingers through morning. I have no idea what it might do outdoors and it might waft pleasantly on morning breezes. And surely warmth helps. I suggest patience and take a sniff late at night or early in the am. Cut a stalk and keep it overnight. And of course you may own the rarest of T. simmerli "inodora" varieties. best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
