Hi

We have a sea holly like this one. Its beautiful but it stinks!

Has anyone else noticed this? It has a really foul smell so strong that we have had to stop eating on the patio that it grows alongside.

Its a gorgeous plant and very attractive tio insects. It also has a resident White Death spider that specialises in seizing its victims (bees and hover flies etc) behind the head with a bite that instantly paralyses them. I'll post apicture if I can work out how.
