It's fragrant and beautiful, has put up with quite a bit of neglect (hardly any summer water) and a couple branches brought inside would perfume an entire room! Yours should bloom this year if it was in a gallon sized pot.<br /><br />Glad you liked the comment.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-8455356831087131252012-12-27T20:47:51.383-08:002012-12-27T20:47:51.383-08:00I wish I could take total credit for the comment b...I wish I could take total credit for the comment but Louis from Parallel 49 palms came up with the idea whilst gazing at a plant in a nursery; I only changed the wording a little.<br /><br />It might be better if a few things were asleep here but we've only had one night during which the temperature dipped briefly to 30 degrees. I worry that if our weather finally does get cold that lots of plants may be damaged.

I planted one last spring and I am waiting to see a flower and smell the fragrance, but the plant may still be too young. And here in New England it won't bloom until later in winter, right now it's under snow. But how I am looking forward to having something like yours.<br /><br />(I loved your comment on Casa Mariposa's blog about seed catalogs --- an amusing spoof on whether to buy or not to buy.
