They have such a warm vanilla-honey smell when you stick your nose into them. Just watch for the spikes on your legs! ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

I smelled mine at 6p.m. today and there wasn't a scent at all - I think I'll try again in the morning, as sometimes that's when flowers are strongest here.

Here is it almost in full bloom. Definitely a brightener on this cloudy day!
