I’m with you Scarlet. I hate the smell of feverfew. I rip it up as soon as I see it.

While we're talking about smelly plants, I've seen ornamental cabbages in flower bunches - can't imagine what they smell like after a few days in a vase of water. Allium flowers too always smell of onions. I wouldn't know whether to cook with them or admire them.

I did use the drum head aliums in my bunches...I read that welsh onion flower heads were good too. A bit much for me.

Ornamental cabbages are often in supermarket flowers. I cant even stand the smell of brassicas growing in fields on my dog walk at the moment. Warm/wet weather and it all stinks

I'm after seed ID again. I really must remember to write a label or summat.

I'm sorting  out and found  box of these seeds collected from last year. Any ideas? They have lots of fluffy 'dandelion' type bits as well as a few seeds settling down to the bottom.  I feel they must have been grown from some seed swap seeds so perhaps someone will recognise them.

Maybe Centaurea/Knapweed?

Not likely, never managed to get either of those growing Sad

I suppose the best way forward is to sow them and see what happens.

Helichrysum? Daisy things?

Don’t think it’s helichrysum - mine don’t look like that.
Scabious???
