I don’t pay attention to the fragrance; I will try to notice.

Coming upon flowers growing over rocks (or poking up through rock walls) is such a delight. These are beautiful.

Thank you.. I’m so pleased you like them Madeline! They seemed to be releasing a fragrance as well which surprised me.. perhaps this happens when the flowers are at their most potent. Have never noticed it before!
