What flowers' scents feed your soul?

Asked by marinelife (62485points) April 3rd, 2011

Last Thursday, I bought a pink hyacinth for spring, thinking of the poem:

“If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store
Two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole,
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.”

~ Musharish-Ud-Din Sadi

My hyacinth is blooming now, and it perfumes the room, and my soul is uplifted whenever I pass by it.

I love the smell of hyacinths and oriental lilies like Stargazer and Casablanca.

What flowers do you love the fragrance of?
