These felt like a gift from the garden in December so I picked two stems and brought them indoors. Hopefully they will open fully but even at this state they are fragrant. I used to say they “smelled like candy” but as I thought this, this time, I realized – candy doesn’t smell, or at least is not known for its scent. Hmmm. Perhaps it is that the wallflowers smell so amazingly sweet that the candy simile occurred. Their vibrant colour is also so pleasing, and I like the lushness and abundance of the leaves. And the fact that they are called wallflowers; not at all on the sidelines!
