Hiya

Whilst in sunny Eastbourne last Saturday, I was walking along the seafront about to cross the road, had pressed the crossing button as the road was very busy. Just as the bleeps and green man came on, I caught a whiff of the flowers that were in the huge beds by the road, but had to scoot quick or I would have been run over so couldn't get a photo or a good look.

I can only describe the smell as parma violet sweets (not the giant ones, they are just bitter and wrong and should be illegal, but the little purple rounds of goodness that are quite hard to get hold of round here nowadays).

If anyone knows what flowers they are, I would be grateful for any information.

Thank you muchly
