Here are a few of mine I took pictures of today! Thanks for looking.

African Gardenia's

A Lemon Meyer Tree in bloom.

Almond Verbena and my Michelia Alba right beside it.

Yes, my Natel Plum is still flowering and very sweet.

One of my Figs, a petite one still fruiting. Very delicious when ripe.

A few Orchids all throwing out buds! I am sooo excited about these since it will be my first year of blooms and surprises. All are very fragrant species.

Last but not least, one of my favorites...Brunfelsia. These few flowers are such a spicy sweet aroma as I speak. The whole room smells delightful as te sun sets all night.

And a couple of extras.. Not fragrant though, but a bit early in the flowering department;-)

Mike!
The African Gardenia is amazing! I love the shape and look of the leaves! Flowers too! What a neat plant!

Everything looks beautiful! Can't wait to see the orchids. :-)

Come spring I am planning on getting a new lemon and fig. The fruit on yours looks great!

Wow! Mike, I am continually impressed by your ability to grow such luscious, healthy looking plants, and by the types and variety you have! They're all so gorgeous!

Your orchids, which are my favorites, are so beautiful. They look so happy! :-)

And that African Gardenia... how unusual, and so lovely!

I so badly wish I had the environment to grow orchids and plants like that! There are a few things I can do to help boost the humidity, but as you know, I must take care because of all the electronics here.

I'm impressed, Mike! What more can I say?! Great work! :-)

Thanks for sharing, and for making my day! :-)

Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted here, but I'm loving seeing everyones plants so much that I thought I'd share some of my favorites with everyone as well. My oldest Thanksgiving cactus. It'll be 4 years in January. It doesn't look like much, but I'm thrilled with it 'cause it lost all its segments during the spring and I think it's coming back quite nicely. Opuntia santa-rita. One of my favs. Will be 2 years in April. Jade ovata 'Gollum'. Turned 2 in September. Haworthia fasciata. Really like this one. 1.5 years old. Philodendron scandens. 3.5 years old. Another Phildendron. Not sure of its exact name. Only 6 months old. Dracaena deremensis 'Yellow Stipe'. My mother can't grow these worth a bean, but mine's doing quite well I think. Will be 3 years in May. Dracaena marginata. Turned 4 in September. Ficus elastica 'Black Prince'. 2.5 years old. Hildewinteria aureispina. Will be 3 years in April. Coleus blumei. Looks quite pathetic right now but that's because I just cut it back hard. It always grows back beautifully. I'm proud of this one because Coleus plants are classified as annuals and this one is turning 3 years next month (Decemeber). Hope I didn't post too much. Thanks for sharing everyone and thanks for looking at mine.

I've done a few citrus cuttings over the years, a few have died due to neglect. But this is my 'best one' you can see another plastic bottle method one next to it. My method is plastic bottle cut in half, peat, perlite, fresh cutting. Plonk cutting in moist soil put lid on leave until it fills with roots. :) This post was edited by madferret on Thu, Oct 16, 14 at 3:42

Dannie, oh yes. The pinching most certainly creates a very beautiful plant. That's what I do all the time, especially in winter since in winter because of a lack of sun as compared to summer they can grow spindly then the leaves grow tighter together and fuller as the days get longer. Beautiful work. Love the yellow against the dark leaves! I need to get one of those. Chippedchinaplate, someone loves these plants!! You have such a great selection. You know, the funny thing is that most local nurseries don't even sell them. Only one 45 minutes away and those I have were cuttings the greenhouse grower gave me. I started both those plants with 2 inch cuttings, 3 of each a year ago. Boy can they grow fast when given lots of water and fertilizer in a very bright spot outside in a very good draining mix. Nicole, you need to get your hands on one of these. They can be so pretty when in bloom and even out of bloom!

Tom , my goodness. I’ll bet walking through your yard is better than walking through my local nursery. What a beautiful group of plants and boy can you describe scents to the T! Too you always say the name of the plants. So organized and so caring for your plants. I could use a lesson from you. Great to see you around. Yeah. Sometimes life rushes by and we looses trac of time. Thank you for your beautiful pictures. Always eye candy, especially your Hoya pics ) Maggie, lol. That’s exactly what happened to me in my sleep. I got up and mapped out the area and even envisioned what I wanted for the small area. Way too funny. I actually know someone that bought three ponds last night to see which one best looks good in her yard Lol. She’s obsessed too. Once you get that pond going I’ll teach you the best way to keep it from freezing if you make it at least 2 feet or deeper. Imagine the beautiful Koi surrounded my fragrant plants and the sound of running water falls. Just imagine. Ha. Wow that Queen of your beauties is a nice one. Wow.

I don't have ANY fragrant house plants!

I DO have a few Brugmansias. They have large flowers that have a strong perfumy-melony type franrance. Right now they're in the cellar going dormant until the spring.

Are these also know as Angels Trumpets?
I grow Devils Trumpet in the summer, the fragrance is like a cross of Jasmine and Lavender!

Elkay! Are they easy to care for in the winter? If so, I would like to try one. Do they drop their leaves and if so thank God, because I hear spider mites love these plants.
Your plants are so pretty and must smell devine!

Jodik...I must say that Orchids are my favorites next to Citrus. You never know what you are going to get, and the fragrance is breath taking on everyone of them. I can't wait to see the blooms and smell.
Thanks again for your appreciated and very kind comments. It means a lot!

Yes, the African Gardenia is one of the best plants anyoen could own. They are easy to grow if grown in a very porous mix and kept warm. Humidity not required and that's it! They flower continually all year. It has never been out of bloom since I have had it. This is a keeper! It smells heavenly!

Thank you Jodik:-)))

Jojo, same to you! Looks like you love the same plant Jodik does..lol You know, come the spring, I can always start cuttings from this plant if anyone is brave enough to give it a shot. They are even easier than growing Violets fo me.

Have a great night all!:-)

Now why wouldn't I like the same plant as Jodi? Twins,
remember.. hehehe.. and we have good taste. ;-)
Dry, Humidity not required, warm.. sounds like Arizona would be a good place for it. ;-) My craft room to be exact. ;-)

Have a good night to you too!
And Elkay and Jodi. :-)

Mike - you can either bring them inside or put them in you cellar/garage for the winter. Inside they will lose most of their leaves eventually, but recover when outside again. I remove the leaves and some branches from mine and they go into my cellar in the dark until March or so. I only give them about 1 cup of water a month.

And yes, these things are mite MAGNETS! Just keep some miticide handy.
