    i am looking for a flower that my DH describes as smelling like cotton candy and sweet popcorn, my daughter says it has something to do with 'butter ball' or butter something. I have no clue...I would like to have it but I cant figure out what it is.


    Thanks,
    Dee

    A flower color would be helpful.
