Would love to have the chance to smell one like Doc one day. Even though I would most likely regret it immediately.

Whoops, it seems there's already a discussion on this topic.

Usually, I check for existing threads, but I didn't this time Let's continue the conversation in that existing thread, it has more information and pictures.
I hesitate to add photos because I'm not sure what's allowed.
I usually stick to posting my own because that way, I am sure there will not be a problem

You don't just smell it while you're there.

You still smell it when you get home, and the next day at work, and perhaps the following morning as well.

Warning! Warning! Do you hear that, @Daltonio? Be careful what you wish for!

NO WORRIES!!
I guess that's an "old school tradition that must not apply here. That happens a lot here; I've caught myself doing it & I've double-checked with our glorious leader & he says, "not a problem". So, you just carry on, Sandy; I think that you have offended no one!
Besides, the 'search' engine does not always work the way that I think it should.

I want to see one!

Sounds to me like a picture is worth a thousand sniffs.

I start new topics by looking at the last few pages.
I don't use the search engine, I check each thread, usually going through at least 3 pages.

Anyway, it's a beautiful flower, I don't think I'll ever see one. but will be nice
