Location: United Kingdom | quotePosted at 21:16 on 25th March 2008 I would love to see and know to which plant you are referring to, maybe Andy will put it on for all to see. I take pictures of wild flowers and have great fun naming them from my 6 books and if I am still not sure I send it/them to the owners of the wild flower web sites who always find the answer. Sometimes there are 'weeds' on the edge of the pavements but if I see a speck of colour I take a close up then enlarge it on the computer and it is really surprising what pretty little flowers they are. I love the smell of the grass when it has just been cut. Nice to know other people who share these feelings.  |

I'm not familiar with Sweet Garlic, and I can't say I recognised any garlic smell, but of course, you could be right. I'll google it. Thank you Andy, your a brick! |
