mignonette

The unforgettable fragrance of mignonette flowers fills the air between
early summer and midfall. This is the plant's great charm; visually it
is unimpressive, with leaves that resemble those of spinach and flower
spikes that consist of minute yellow-green blooms with tufted brown
stamens.
