mid-january and we've finally had our first appreciable snowstorm. it's finally freezing. it's finally time to buy myself some flowers to ward off the winter woes. this weekend i bought stock. if ever i could blog a smell, this would be the one. it's pungent, spicy, smells a bit like cloves. heavenly. all day long, as i walk around in layers and fleece for the first time this winter, i wander by the stock, stick my nose in it, and inhale deeply. smells like winter!14 January 2012
winter flowers
mid-january and we've finally had our first appreciable snowstorm. it's finally freezing. it's finally time to buy myself some flowers to ward off the winter woes. this weekend i bought stock. if ever i could blog a smell, this would be the one. it's pungent, spicy, smells a bit like cloves. heavenly. all day long, as i walk around in layers and fleece for the first time this winter, i wander by the stock, stick my nose in it, and inhale deeply. smells like winter!
I also love the smell of stock. It lasts a long time as well.
ReplyDeleteI also adore the smell!
ReplyDeleteI love all stocks, particularly Night Scented Stock. My Dad used to say if you could bottle that smell, you could make a fortune!
You've warmed me up just remembering those lovely smells!
Should it be sold as a perfume? Or would it be too heady? It sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNora:if it were sold as perfume, i'd sure buy it! next time you're near a florist, see if you can find it and take a sniff. it's heavenly!!
ReplyDeleteTabor and Anne: so excited that you are familiar with the smell of stock. lots of people i know don't even know what the flower is.
would try to sniff it out from the pic - silly me..
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of stock!!! I'm off to the flower shop!
