Eremurus - Foxtail lily (Eremurus)

one of the plants I discovered recently....
And yesterday in the morning when I was weeding the bed it brought some memories from my childhood - it smelled a bit like ink. In primary school we had to use proper ink pens, inks in the containers, very often split on the desk... how surprisingly can scent can bring a memories from past, lol.

we still had the free small carton of milk but then they cancelled that : (
I didnt like it either as I was locked in a room and forced to read : (((

However i do remember my firends and I digging hole at the end of the playing fields because we wanted to go to Australia. They only discovered it after 3 weeks of solid breaktime digging

It's actually the smell! It still has the same effect - instant retching. Black tea coffee etc. For cereal, it has to be boiled with honey in it.
