My helper was telling me some of her "stock" seeds were finally coming up, and ranting about how perfumey the plants were gonna be. I checked the database and found 4 entries, good info, but no pics. Does anyone have one to put in there so I can see what they look like?

the night scented stock are so different from the regular ones. the flowers are 4 small petals-nothing beautiful about them, but the fragrance! the fragrance is so beautiful, you cant believe it comes from such a small plain looking flower! I would recommend everyone plant some of these by a bench or night window!!!!
i got my first seeds from thompson&morgan seeds!
