    ... and a 3rd vote for honesty. If you know any flower arrangers, they may want the seed heads when they appear. They are lovely, but seed all over the place!

    I am surprised to hear it doesn't have a smell! Usually honesty has a lovely fragrance at night. Check it early evening to see if it has a lovely smell.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Could it be a wallflower? There is a purple variety?
