Sacred Heart of The Burren

Damask Nasturtium Orris Violets Apple Clove Lemon.

Everyone loves the smell of Roses Some flowers lure us pollinators with their colour Others attract us with their scent. Flowers have unique smells in their petals Caused by a chemical compound to attract pollinators That direct pollen to stigma Just like sperm directed to scented mucous & egg in human. Bees Moths & Butterflies Tend to be drawn to sweet smelling roses While Insects like Dung Flies are attracted to smelly flowers. Jasmine Lily of the Valley Rose Gardenia Sweet-Pea Four o’clock Chocolate Cosmos Sweet Alyssum All have the strongest scent. Some flowers lure us pollinators with their colour Others attract us with their scent.
