I have several of these flowers in my front garden. I’ve always thought they were called “heliotrope”… but just recently learned I was wrong! I now believe it is actually “valerian” and it has such an amazing aroma with these blooms dancing on really tall stems. But when I came home from my bike ride this morning, one of the stems was broken and had fallen over. So I brought it inside, grabbed a tumbler and made this sweet little arrangement… and it STILL smells great!!!
