The other day, while taking this photograph, I realized I had never smelled the flowers. So I did. As you can imagine they bear the subtle scent of black currants.
I love black currant. It’s a plant of my childhood. Here, in the U.S., it’s not as popular as in Europe. You are absolutely right about the smell. Even young leaves give this wonderful aroma. I’ll go to my garden today and smell the flowers. Thanks!
So cool! Mine aren’t flowering yet, I’m really hoping they actually produce this year.
