FLOWER POWER

I bought these lilies about five days ago, half-price because they were past the "guaranteed for a week" date even though most of them weren't even open. Now they are, and I think they need to be in the ballroom of a stately home because the scent is completely overwhelming. I've had to move them from the hall, where I thought they'd waft sweet smells throughout the house and up the staircase, into our less-used dining room. It's still a very powerful smell, but more diffused and not quite so headache-inducing as before, though I really can't bring myself to throw them out just yet.
