Sweet smelling fern?
hello
every once in awhile when i pass a forest or some shrubbery i will get a hint of a sweet smell. Someone once told me it was a fern. is this possible? it is an incredibly beautiful sweet smell that always seems to come from wild areas. Does anybody possibly know what this smell is coming from? thank you.
