Hello lovely people! This is the third day of the Gratitude Scavenger Hunt Challenge I joined which was shared by Sadje.
I am grateful that I have my sense of smell because there are people who can’t smell. That must be really hard for them knowing they can’t appreciate pleasant scents. Pleasant scents coming from freshly baked bread, fresh cut grass, floral and citrus perfumes and flowers are what I love to smell.
For this day, I am to find one thing that I love to smell. I have something in mind when I thought of the third-day challenge.
Whenever I walk around our neighbourhood I am always fascinated by the flowers at someone else’s garden. They invaded the fences as there’s no one living at the house. Because of the challenge, I inspected the flower closely and smelled one.
Can you please identify this flower as I’m not familiar with it. It has the same scent as our local flower Rosal (scientific name Gardenia jasminoides J.Ellis). Here are photos of the flower.
Here’s my attempt on Acrostic poem.
Scents can do
Marvels and affect
Emotions
Like the
Lavender flower
How about you? What do you love to smell?
I have seen this one but don’t know the name. I love the narcissi and roses.

I’m guessing it is from the family of Gardenia flower. I love roses too!

You’re right, it could be. My knowledge of flower names is limited to just a few.

Isn’t it Jasmine?
I love all kind of smell. Flowers, baked good, yes basically all the thing you mention. The most annoying with having a really good sense of smell, however, is that I can smell body odor two meters away and they aren’t always pleasant. 😶

Great read Winnie! Babies, gardenias, basil, sea. Scents have that curious power to evoke memories from the depths I find so fascinating. I try to write them down as they occur. They come and go like a bittersweet friendship 💕
