when i was a little kid we had milking goats for a while. earlier this spring i grew some
H. angustifolia emersed--it adapted readily--and it had a musky stench like a billy goat...made our whole house smell just like the barn when we had goats in there. i found this intriguing, but got tired with it after a few days and stuck the plant back underwater.
here is a macro shot of a bloom on that plant. the foliage was covered with those fine hairs, which were sticky with an oil that created the strong goat odor.
