For the pecans..... This may sound a bit odd, but roughly chopped toasted pecans really change a basic creamy cole slaw to something very special. Add just before serving. Learned that one from the chef at a large local church where they frequently have lunch meetings of community organizations.....

I just got some Magnolia Grandiflora seeds, but i think they take years to grow to a stage where they will blossom?
I know its as hard to describe in words an aroma as it is a flavor but i was wondering if you might care to try and describe the aroma of Jonquil.
Im going to ask my friend who gave me the magnolia seeds about Jonquil but i just wondered if you have any impression of the aroma you might care to describe.
Visually its a cute little flower, and i know i have sampled the scent i just cant recall it. Is it like daffodil? Pseudo Narcissi? subtle, light, clean fresh mildly floral aroma? looking it up i was surprised at the similarity in the appearance of Jonquil and daffodil but from what i read they are 2 seperate plants?

Jonquil and daffodil are often used interchangeably. They are of the same genus (Narcissus) and vary only slightly. Daffodils usually have a more prominent trumpet (the part of the flower that sticks out from the surrounding petals) but they are hard to tell apart. Scent is similar to a daffodil - difficult to separate the two.
And don't go for jonquil seeds - get the bulbs (like daffodils). You may have to search to find those definitely labeled jonquils.
I chose the name because it was different and less likely to be duplicated on the net. Also had to make some use of my landscape design degree :-)

I once bought a nice pot of paperwhites. I think they're gorgeous. They also go by the name jonquil. What a letdown to find out they smell very much like dirt.

Really??? I used to have a patch of paperwhites. They smelled a lot like Jasmine! -- Peace! Om

I walked into the house after work and was hit in the face with this remarkably ... dirt odor. I looked all around thinking maybe it was garbage? Even though my garbage doesn't smell like earth.
It was the paperwhites. I finally had to put them outside. They were stinking up the joint.

Oh my goodness, I just did a google on paperwhite scent, and look what I found:
"Our California friend and tazetta expert, Bill Welch, explains, "About a quarter of the population cannot stand the scent of paperwhites, and that has poisoned their attitude towards the tazettas as a whole. Someone I know was doing a study of the chemical components of fragrance in various flowers, and he found that paperwhites had a lot more indole in them than other tazettas. Then he told me that indole is the same chemical given off by E. coli! Of course I don't usually mention this to people who like paperwhites and ask if the others 'smell as good'"!

I like the odor of them for a few days but after that they begin to smell kind of nasty to me, too. Hyacinths affect me the same way. I don't really like the smell of jasmine, either, but I love gardenias.

I love flowers but not so much for their scent. I planted hyacinths near the walk because they smell pretty for a few days, but that's about it. So when I forced some (they're always described as fragrant) paperwhites, they were the last thing I searched for when I came home and that smell hit me at the door. It wasn't a flower smell at all.
I'd love to try them again if I knew it was really a fragrant variety. Or maybe it's like the cilantro thing and they don't smell bad to other people.

They have a bit of an off smell to me, but only if I stick my nose straight in them. It might be like cilantro.

The funny thing is that I don't have a very good sense of smell. This pretty pot of flowers was overpowering.

I'd have a hard time figuring out where to enter it -- they eliminated the ketchup lot many years ago. IIRC, my plum ketchup won a blue ribbon once. :-) Whaddaya mean "insane lust"?

Well, you could bake, but how about pesto? Walnuts, parsley, garlic, Parm and oil.

If you can prepare them like henna, you'd have a whole new non- permanent tattoo craze in this country!
