Freesias

Included in the flowers I sent Mrs LD on Valentine's day were Freesias. They look lovely and were described as fragrant, I suppose they are if you stick your nose right in front of them but I remember my Mum having Freesias in the house and the smell would fill the room. Can you still get the really fragrant ones?

Re: Freesias

Only if you grow certain varieties yourself, Longdogs. Mrs Vere stopped me from buying freesias (her favourite flowers) because those available had either no, or very little, scent at all as you found.

Re: Freesias

How strange, you would think the commercial growers wold want the fragrant ones, I'm sure they would sell more.. What a shame though, the smell used to be so nice.

Re: Freesias

I love Freesias but don't see them around very often now so many flower shops have closed .

It's years since I had any scented ones..

Re: Freesias

You used to see them everywhere years ago. The smell was just fantastic.
