Have I ever mentioned just exactly how much I love NY’s photography? These pretty little lavender flowers are quite deceptive. They emit an stinky garlic scent to go along with their name which is ‘society garlic’.

I love the flowers of garlic, but not the smell so much!!
Cathi says
I know Karren. The purple flowers are so deceiving!
Happy WW!
Diana @ Toronto Teacher Mom says
I don’t think I’ve ever smelled those flowers before. But it would be interesting to see how much they smell like garlic.
Cathi says
Oh Diana, the scent is a stinky garlic/onion. But their beauty is a good trade-off.
Happy WW!

Gorgeous flowers. Don’t think I would like to smell them.
Cathi says
Being pretty is a good trade-off for the stinky little flowers Raychael. Ha!

These are so delicate and pretty. Funny they should smell so bad 🙂

Nona says
You see a pretty flower and think it will always come with a pretty smell. Odd how more than one flower in the world doesn’t smell as nice as it looks.
Cathi says
These flowers line our front walk Nona. Such a welcome for guests. Ha!
Happy WW!
