At least it wasn't a gas leak! I thought I'd been smelling gas yesterday,
so was puzzled and a bit alarmed. Turns out, this pink thing is the culprit. I really cannot stand the smell! I think it's headed outside to live out the rest of its life.

1. Ah, stargazer lilies!
People love them or hate them. They are uber-fragrant, and some sniffers are particularly sensitive to their smell and find them offensive. Too bad. They're such a beautiful flower.

2. They are beautiful, but do they stink (to me, obviously)!
Thanks for identifying it; I bought some white stargazer bulbs last year, but in the garden they weren't nearly as offensive as they are in the house.

3. Makes me long for spring and my lilies, and roses, and all my other babies.
