Scent – Page 2

Blue Hyacinth flowers

This Hyacinth isn’t blooming in my garden yet- but give it two months or so and I’ll have several of these beauties making my garden look lovely! Oh and the scent! Just looking at this photo brings to mind the heady scent of Hyacinths!

On nice warm spring days I love to open the windows of my house and have the scent of Hyacinth waft in on the breeze. Of course, Hyacinths have quite a strong scent … it can be quite irritating to some people. If you have a potted Hyacinth indoors you might want to keep it in a low traffic area .. don’t worry, you’ll still smell it!

Compte de Chambord Rose Bud

This is a rose bud from one of my antique roses – Compte de Chambord. This rose’s flowers put out a strong rose perfume scent. I love being in my garden in the early morning, early evening or just after I’ve watered when these roses are in bloom as the scent is heavenly.

Of course this rose is not blooming now. It’s warmed up here in Toronto, but it’s only a mid-winter thaw … but soon … soon, my flowers will start to grow again.

Pine needles

I love the smell of real pine and crushed pine needles. Did you know you can make a tea out of pine needles? It has an interesting taste!

A rose so sweet – it’s scent heavenly

Compte de Chambord, was there ever another rose with such a heavenly scent?

Some of my roses are still blooming away at this late date. I suspect that the Compte de Chambord rose bud pictured above is one of the last that this rose will produce this year, but I could be wrong. Either way it’s a lovely rose bud isn’t it and oh it smells … so beautiful with it’s rich rose perfume.

I took this photo on a windy day in lat October. I believe I was holding the rose stem to keep it still as I snapped the shot which of course is why the background has an interesting blurred effect – the foliage of the other plants near the rose were blowing in the wind.
