S. turkestanica is one of the foulest smelling things ever made for the
garden! It smells of the worst kind of BO and is it takes a very good
wash
to get the smell off your hands. A friend of ours used to say that it
smelled of BO, wet wool and very cheap perfume. In absolutely no way can I
relate it pineapple!


Ah that explains it . Round here we got loads of wet wool, very cheap chav
perfume and BO-so any plant smells sweeter than that lot.
Mental note--must move Sawth:-)


Aiming for a little refainement, eh? ;-)
