I like the sound of this summer flowering bulb. I gather that it is 'highly fragrant' but can anyone tell me what sort of scent it has? Thanks. :)

Hi Georgie,

I hadn't seen your post either and can't help you as I had to google them too, they look pretty though, and I would love to see an answer to your question, good luck. :)

Thanks for your replies, Asbean and Tulipa. :)

I get rather cross when plants are described as 'highly fragrant' without an indication of what the scent is. For example I love the scent of Lilies and Jasmine but cannot abide anything that smells of vanilla or chocolate. (Yes, I know I'm odd!)

I do hope someone will be able to put me out of my misery soon. :)
