Real World Gardener Perfumed Flowers in Talking Flowers

TALKING FLOWERS <p>Perfumed and Non-Perfumed Flowers</p> <p>Why do some flowers have scent and others not?</p> <p>It's all about pollination because scent is a signal that directs pollinators to a particular flower whose nectar and/or pollen is the reward.</p> <p>Volatile oils are emitted from flowers can have either slight scent or strong scent depending on how far away the plant needs to attract its visitors.</p> <ul><li>Those plants that  are pollinated by bees and flies have sweet scents, whereas those pollinated by beetles have strong musty, spicy, or fruity odours.</li> </ul> <p>Perfumers have never been able to exactly match perfumed their scents to the complex scents that flowers exude.</p> <p>But floral volatile oils are essential in allowing insects to discriminate among plant species and even among individual flowers of a single species. </p> <p>For example, closely related plant species that rely on different types of insects for pollination produce different odours.</p> <p>I'm talking with Mercedes Sarmini from<a href='http://www.floralgossip.com.au/'> www.floralgossip.com.au</a></p> Mercede's list of favourite perfumed flowers are:<a href='https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hR8O6teQrqY/XuHohXI9hgI/AAAAAAAAiIE/TD4dgyH0tT0LrJ6awRGIA6hWIcqHK0WxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/bouquet-white-rose-flowers-roses-lush-pink-celebration-bloom-birthday-bouquet.jpg'></a> <p>Ms Carnation:Ms Rose</p> <p>Mr Hyacinth:Ms Lavender</p> <p>Mr Freesia: Ms Lilac</p> <p>Mr Tuber Rose: Mr Lily of the Valley</p> <p>Ms Stock: Ms Jasmine: Mr Belladonna Lily</p> <p>Ms Bouvardia</p> <p> </p>
