Forgot I had sown these and they got completely ignored amongst the weeds and then we got this smell and could not place the blossom and there were these insignificant quite ugly little flowers producing this amazing smell! And I remembered my grandpa used to always grow them in his allotment just for the smell.

My matthiola bicornis seeds grew very fast, in matter of few weeks. I was looking forward to the flowering time, but then some little maggots found my seedlings and ate all of the buds. But I will try again next year, matthiola bicornis was an easy plant to grow!
