These are blooming in the back yard now. Tomorrow, I’ll harvest some of the stems and put them in a vase with with my Sunflowers. They will add both beauty and fragrance to my bouquet.
From Wikipedia
The tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is a plant of the agave family Agavaceae. It appears as a rosette of thin leaves up to 45 cm (18 in) long, and puts out a spike of fragrant tubular white flowers in summer.
The common name is the source of some confusion; it derives from Latin tuberosa, meaning swollen or tuberous in reference to its root system, but it has come to be thought of as derived from “tube + rose”.
I just gotta say that that those tuberoses are the best-smellin’ things ever to make their way into the house from the garden. Not counting the veggies and stuff when you’re cookin’ them, that is, but that’s a different matter.
