I've been drooling over that lovely website and am tempted by the idea
of scented waterlilies..Anybody had one? can you actually smell them from
the poolside?
Their scent is usually mild so you would need one in a barrel or similar so
you could get up close and personal to be able to smell it. Alternatively
use them as cut flowers, just float on a bowl of water.
I've not yet come across one that has a strong perfume but there are some
said to be like that, mostly the N.odorata crosses like N.Odorata exquisita;
N Odorata Helen Fowler; N Odorata sulphurea; N Odorata Wm B Shaw .....
