Thank you very much Leuba Ridgway. Indeed they have a very pleasant odor. The description of Wikipedia is very analytic: "The flowers have a pleasing, exotic and very subtle lily scent, which only becomes apparent during still, windless summer nights that allow the delicate fragrance to become perceptible"

Lovely spotting Kostas. I like all your shots - it's nice to see the plant in context. They seem like they might have a lovely scent ??
