Scent in the air

Paeonia rockiiThe various flower scents on the journey home included the vibrant yellow rapeseed fields now in full flower, hawthorn, Prunus padus and scented poplar.

In the garden tonight the small Paeonia rockii or Moutan Paeony  is in flower.

To be honest this plant grown from seed is a disappointing off-white but the scent is rather lovely,  lemon and nivea combined.
