I bought a wonderful pansy/viola this weekend.
It's called Rebecca and is blue and yellow but pale the scent is
absolutely wonderful and i could smell the three plants i bought all the
way home in the car!! The warmer they are the more the fragrance comes
out and I have to say I find many violas /pansies don't have any
discernible scent




I know exactly the one you mean, Janet. I lost mine. I think something
ate it, but it's compost by now. It's a lovely plant. Alas, I haven't
got a nose, so hardly noticed the scent :~(.

[As RG would say "My wife's got no nose" ... "How does she smell?" ...]
There's usually a cheeky answer! :~))
