My Sulphur Queen has a funny first bloom, but two others are half open and tonight I smelled them. They both have a strong smell hard to describe. Whether this will change once fully open, or in the day time I will find out.

On hitting the flower with my scent detectors, the first impression is not pleasant. It has a strong smell reminding me a little of the old cakes of soap that were unscented. Once that smell has gone another one filters through, in a way pleasant, in a way not. It is best described as a sponge cake with lemon oil, or perhaps 'uncooked custard powder' with lemon oil.
