Just a quick nip in for a plant I.d. Please

[ancee]

I opened my car door in the works car park this morning and the scent of this filled the car. Any ideas anyone? Is it a type of mignonette? I've googled them but I don't think it is. Expert opinions please X

I can't see very well but I will go white sweet william.

Is it Valerian?

[Martin H]

Is it a white Phlox (paniculata) ?

[ancee]

IT could be any of those. I'll try and take a better photo tomorrow. My phone is rubbish though. It smells so strong and lovely. Do any of your suggestions have strong scents?

[Thelma Sanders]

could it be the white form of valerian (Centranthus Alba)?



I see, now, that VC beat me to it

[seasprout]

I'm thinking white Valerian.

Another vote for valerian.

[Scarlet]

I'd go with valerian too but it's very early to be in flower

[Thelma Sanders]

The red one is just beginning to flower in my garden

I think that the one that smells is the tall one at the back of the clump. It does look like a large migionett as you say. For the life of me I can't remember the name and I can't find my wild flower book

I think that this might be it Mignonette (Wild) - Wild Flower Finder
