Highly scented tuberose is normally used in making wreathes and crosses that mourners place on the coffins of their loved ones
That has resulted in that smell being associated with funerals. They are hardly seen in gardens and nor are tuberoses used to make flower arrangements that are placed in homes I have also not grown tuberoses and nor do I buy them for making flower arrangements for house decor.
What smell reminds you of funerals? Do you like the smell of tuberoses?
