Freesias mark the beginning of Spring
Freesias are one of the best Spring Bulbs. The flowers come in a multitude of colours and are beautifully fragrant. Freesias grow from a corm, which is like a bulb. Once you plant them, they will grow and flower every year if they are in a position with full sun, but they will also grow in part shade. i have seen them in lawns, but you have to be careful to make sure you don't cut them off with the mower. You can also grow them in pots, and they also make great cut flowers for indoors. Freesia bulbs ( corms ) are available from Garden Centres in Autumn or early Winter. 
Freesia Flowers are one of the most fragrant flowers. The Freesia specie, Freesia alba caused a sensation when introduced into cultivation in 1878! Along with Freesia leichteinii, this is the most deliciously, sweetest of all Freesia species.
FreesiaFreesia is a genus of about 14 species. Freesia bulbs are usually grown for use asCut Flowers. All the 14 species of Freesia are African in origin. Of The 14 Freesia species, 12 are native to Cape Province, South Africa, the remaining two to tropical Africa, with one these species extending north of the equator to Sudan.
Freesia flowers are very fragrant, typically white or yellow, and are borne in spikelike racemes. This blooming beauty captures your heart and is a springtime favorite.
Freesia plants grow from a corm (a solid bulb, as in Gladiolus). The Freesia orm sends up a tuft of long narrow leaves and a slightly branched stem. Freesia Flowers are borne as loose one-sided spikes of narrowly funnel-shaped flowers along a side few leaves.
Some excellent Freesia varieties (old-fashioned) for fragrance include: Athene, Allure, Demeter, Excelsior, Golden Wave, Mirabel, Pink Westlind, Snowdon, and Welkin. The tender, cormous plant, Freesia originated in South Africa.

Like bits of sunshine glinting throughout the garden, these fragrant, full freesia add a splash of cheerful yellow after the daffodils have passed. A sparkling addition for years of spring enjoyment. A snap to plant and easy to please.
The freesia genus belongs to the family Iridaceae. The genus includes 14 to 16 species of flowering plants native to Africa. Bell-shaped blooms perch atop a stem that curves, facing the blooms upward.
A popular flower for fragrance, the light pink and red varieties feature a stronger scent, according to Teleflora. Their bright colours and heavy perfume make freesia a one of the favorite cut flowers.
Freesia grows from a corm, a type of solid bulb. Long, narrow leaves surround a slightly branched stem. Six to 10 funnel-shaped flowers in single or double petal patterns grace the top of the curving stem. Stems may grow up to 18 inches in length. Blooming up to seven days, the freesia is available in a variety of colors, including yellow, white, orange, pink, red, mauve, purple, lavender and bicolored.

I like fragrant flowers @ctrl-alt-nwo like these Freesias will make a good garden flowering plant.
One flowering plant I like is the Fortune plant, it only flowers every few years and gives a divine smell only at night foe a few days.
Freesias are noted for their fragrance and bright flower colors. Native to South Africa, freesias are frost tender perennials that grow from corms. The large-flowered hybrids sold by florists feature sweetly fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers (5-10 per stem) that bloom in one-sided racemes atop leafless, arching, wiry stems to 18" tall. Many different hybrids are available in single or double blooms and in colors ranging from white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, lavender and various bicolors. Narrow, sword-shaped leaves appear in an iris-like fan.

Lovely freesias! I could still recall the sweet perfume of freesias during each spring in London. I had to buy at least two bunches every week for my sitting room! Several colours from purple, pink, white, yellow and orange. We can’t find these bulbs here!!
Cheers.
They look really beautiful and awesome charm they have wonderful to see that :D
Their bright colours and heavy perfume make freesia a popular cut flower. Freesias are native to South Africa where they are winter growing plants and are frost tender. The modern hybrid freesias, Freesia × kewensis, are derived from crosses between Freesia refracta and Freesia armstrongii. Prepared corms planted outside in April will flower in late summer or they can be grown in a cool greenhouse for spring flowering.
