Nice flowers for the house in this weather

I love to have fresh flowers in the house. I have avoided lillies since dads funeral (I sweer every Lilly on the country was in the church - I couldn’t even get any for his wreath).

I usually have roses but they’ve have been really disappointing recently - all limp in a day or so.

So after 20 years I tried lilies. Oh they are beautiful and lasted well over a week looking gorgeous - but the smell, oh the smell! I have just given them to my neighbour because I couldn’t stand it any more. The whole place reminds me of a funeral parlour.

So - any suggestions for some nice flowers that last and don’t stink the place out?

it’s a shame because I remember planting bulbs with dad every year and lilies were ones that he loved.

Stocks are beautiful colours and have a lovely fragrance. Wallflowers last, not particularly strong fragrance, milder than stocks. Carnations & Chrysanthemums are long lasting, I tend not to buy flowers during the summer, when it gets really hot as they don’t last. And start buying again in Autumn.
