My fiance has a lot of problems with the fragrances in flowers. What types of flowers don't have fragrance?

Question

I really need to know. Please don't lie to me. He has a large problem with them. Thanks for any answers I get.

Answer 1

This is a tough one, I even did some searching myself and came up with nothing.

Here is my advice, if it's your wedding you're concerned with... even if it's your house or yard, use artificial flowers. There are many beautiful and very realistic flowers available at Michael's or JoAnn's that can be used in a natural way. They even have faux curly willow now, and it bends!

I understand there is a stigma attached to fake flowers, this is because they used to be horrific looking plastic and were usually made in colors not found in nature. Now you can get a really natural look, I promise. I like to call them "Permanent Botanicals", sounds much better don't you think? I look for the most real looking ones, nothing with lame water droplets, no blue unless that flower actually comes out of the ground blue! (i.e. Bluebonnets)

You can put bunches of Autumn colored mums in pots outside and they look gorgeous and real, then you can store them and change them out with poinsettas for the holidays. Centerpieces on tables can be done with faux florals and given away to wedding guests, if they are beautiful your guests will be thrilled. Also you can keep your bouquet forever using this avenue of creativity. A bloom from a silk flower will look very pretty pulled off of it's stem and floated in water over colored glass stones in a glass container. Simple, elegant, scent-free.

I do floral design and am very, very picky about arrangements looking lush and natural so I know it can be done.

Last, real flowers can start off unscented and become scented as they go through the natural pollination process. They all have pollen so that's probably the thing your fiance' is actually allergic to.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Hydrangea flowers do not have fragrance. If I am to assume that you are using them for your wedding, it would be beneficial to know when it is so that the flowers you choose would be in season. If it is a late winter/early spring wedding tulips do not have scent-at least the vast majority of them. The hydrangeas mentioned earlier are more of a summer flower, but you may be able to get them at other times of the year. Pansies do not have a scent usually, and they are prevelent most times of the year. Hopefully this gets you started. There are unscented options out there. Obviously knowing what you are using them for would be helpful, as would WHEN you are needing them. Good luck!

I know how you feel. My husband is allergic to practically everything. He gets migraines, too. Impatiens are good inside or out but they burn in direct sun. Pansies are also good for out door color. African violets are good for indoors but don't get the plant wet, water from the bottom, feed and give morning sun. You will want flowers with a low pollen. If we are talking roses, low scented hybrid tea roses are your best bet. If the bloom is sturdy you can gently rinse off the pollen. I love my flowers and my husband so, every once in a while it is a tough decision. I found a website called Dave's garden and another one for Burpee (the seed and plant company) that has been able to answer lots of my plant questions. I now have beautiful flowerbeds and a happy hubby. Vinca's, mums, zinnias, canas, elephant ears, pansies and impatiens. Low pollen flowers by the walk ways and high pollens at a distance from our house. Rose of Sharon's, altheas and Crepe Myrtle's are great landscaping items when you have the room to enjoy them away from any entries into your house. I'm studying dianthus now. Oh, bulb gardens: crocus, hyacinths, the larger the daffodil the lighter the scent, lily of the valley, hybrid amaryllis and day lilies have worked for us. Good luck.

Answer 4

A great indoor plant is a phalaenopsis orchid. Beauty without the pollen or smell. Surprisingly there are many orchids that have no smell but then there are some that one flower would be enough to make a room smell.

Answer 5

For me it extremely is honeysuckle. whilst i became a youthful lady my mom and dad did no longer have aircon yet we did have a super attic fan. We closed the corridor door to the the remainder of the homestead and the attic introduced air into merely the mattress room so we stored our mattress room homestead windows open. whilst the honeysuckles have been in bloom all that candy heady scent wafted by the homestead windows. i've got not at all smelt honeysuckle like that back. whilst my mom and dad did get aircon as much as I liked it on a warm summer season day, I ignored that vast attic fan and the candy heady scent it introduced into my room.

Answer 6

Azaleas, crocus, phalaenopsis (moth orchid), ladyslippers, grape hyacinth (Muscari sp.- avoid Hyacinthus sp. like the plague!), many modern varieties of roses (this varies, but many roses have been inbred to the point where they have great looking flowers but little-to-no fragrance), astilbe, hosta, trillium, toad lily, iris, Tiarella (foamflower), Heuchera (coralbells).

Most of these take part to full shade, and are more garden flowers than florist flowers...

Answer 7

Get fake no scented flowers. The flower store can make them. Good luck

Answer 8

Give up on the flowers, try chocolate instead.
