Sugandaraja Moderator. Aug 28, The nuts have a very pleasing smell when roasted. The leaves have a mild rubbery-green scent. The flowers have a very, very mild creaminess to them, but no perfume to speak of.

No corpse note. Woodwoman New member. Feb 2, I purchased some "evening sun" sunflower seeds, from Eden Seeds and grew them. I can imagine lying in a paddock full of these sunflowers and considering it paradise amongst this most intoxicating aroma.
