I can never pick up any scent from alyssum and it is practically a weed here in So Cal - esp the white ones.

Why it was so tiny and growing in an area completely away from where I have alyssum, I have no idea. Also, I detected no scent with the "weed", but the comparison alyssum flower had the characteristic scent. I think the mystery is solved!Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-53903212220782399082008-03-03T20:24:00.000-07:002008-03-03T20:24:00.000-07:00I suspect alyssum as well.I suspect alyssum as well.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-19753164493191282162008-03-03T16:07:00.000-07:002008-03-03T16:07:00.000-07:00Looks a lot like alyssum.http://www.zoto.com/nikki...Looks a lot like alyssum.<BR/>http://www.zoto.com/nikkipolani/img/500x333/bc8398b41f56dc314ec655a81c517f22.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-59278522281460324462008-03-03T12:47:00.000-07:002008-03-03T12:47:00.000-07:00Why not taking photos of weeds?
