Attar of Roses

For several years now we have had scented geraniums called attar of roses on the back patio during the summer. One of life's pleasures is to rub the leaves and take in the delicious perfume left on your hands. They are tender plants and would die if left out through the winter, so they are brought indoors, where their growth accelerates and becomes long and spindly. This year one of the two plants has produced a good show of its tiny white and pink flowers.
