Are these Freesias or not?

I love freesia they are my favorite flower. I had them in my wedding bouquet 50 years ago this summer.

My wedding bouquet too.

I did too Scapal and my bridesmaids wore them in their hair.

Congratulations for the summer.

They look really pretty. Not much flowering here just now as we head into Autumn after a dry,dry Summer.

I always think the white/off white are the most fragrant.

When you see them growing try loosely tying them to a little stick that stuck in the ground. Or pop a loo roll inner over them. To stop them wilting. You could cover or colour the loo roll inner so they don't spoil the view.

Yes, and aren't they just beautiful?! They come in many colours and gave a gorgeous scent. I'd happily have a garden filled with them!

Thanks everyone, yes, I’d come to the conclusion that they are definitely freesias but grown. commercially. I’ve got a lot in the garden, yellow and cream ones. Some of their stems are quite long but most lying sideways because of the strong winds.

We’ve had lovely sunshine today but obviously not warm enough for the freesias to have much scent and I’ve deliberately kept them out of direct sunlight.
Sarah75 yours are exactly the same colour as mine. How talented to be able to grow them yourself.

I think the bunch cost €6.99c (def just one) and they have given me an immense amount of pleasure.

I grew them in pots last year - they were lovely!

Beautiful.

Lovely freesias, I saw them in a Co-OP last week and was tempted. They only had one bunch left and I like to buy 2 bunches so I left them. I think you’ve got more than one bunch in your vase.

We used to grow them commercially and I will assure you they are. My favourites are blue, if I could just remember some of the names.

Yes, freesias. I think their scent is stronger in warm weather?

Yes, very definitely freesias, my favourite flower and my wedding bouquet.

Definitely freesias.

I’ve just had a good sniff ExDancer and I suppose they do smell like fressias but only very faintly. Not the lovely faint wafts of perfume that I’d expect.
I like sweet peas as well tanith.

Yes, freesias.

Beautiful and yes I agree they look like Freesias I’ve looked for Freesias in the shops for ages but can only find them to order online. Along with sweet peas I think they are my favourite flower and smell divine. Lucky you.

They look lie freesias to me, a lovely colour. The way the unopened buds curve down in an arc are typical.

Yes, They're freesias

Should have posted this on the Gardening forum, really.

Well they do look like freesias, do they smell like freesias?
