The next time you walk by the Ada railroad depot park, stop and smell the gaillarda. Also, pause and admire the clustered bellflowers, dianthus, bee balm, scabiosa, speedwell and lots of day lillies. Watch for more flowers to smell all week. These flowers will also be posted on the Bluffton Icon this week.
